lea

adjective. smooth, slippery

lea-

prefix. *your; 2nd pl. possessive

kanu

noun. lead

A word appearing as ᴱQ. kanu “lead” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√KANA (QL/44). It was also identified as the source of the k in the name of the magical metal ᴱQ. Tilkal (LT1/100).

Neo-Quenya: I retain ᴺQ. canu “lead [metal]” for purposes of Neo-Quenya as there are no better alternatives in Tolkien’s later writings.

haloite

adjective. leaping

The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had an adjective ᴱQ. kapalima “bounding, leaping” under the early root ᴱ√KAPA “leap, spring” (QL/45). It also had ᴱQ. haloite “leaping” under the early root ᴱ√HALA (QL/39).

Neo-Quenya: Neither of these early words work for purposes of Neo-Quenya, since -ima means “able to done” in Tolkien’s later writings and the root √KHAL changed in meaning. I would blend these into ᴺQ. capaitë “leaping, bounding”, as combination of [ᴹQ.] kap- “jump” with the suffix -itë “apt to do”.

kanuva

adjective. leaden

A word appearing as ᴱQ. kanuva “leaden”, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. kanu “lead” (QL/44).

Neo-Quenya: Since I retain ᴺQ. canu “lead [metal]” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would retain ᴺQ. canuva “leaden” as well.

núle

noun. lead

A word appearing as ᴱQ. NÛLE (núli-) “lead” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√NULU (NULU).

oilima ailinello lúte

leave the last shore

The second line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/213). The first word is oilima “last” followed by the ablative form of the noun ailin “shore”, a modifying-phrase of the verb lutu- “to sail” in the aorist tense, loosely translated “leave” in the poem.

Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:

> oilima ailin-ello lúte = “✱last shore-from sail [leave]”

kampo

masculine name. Leaper

A name for Earendel appearing in the Qenya Lexicon from the 1910s (QL/45).

lasse

noun. leaf; petal

patl

noun. leaf (esp. of book)

halta-

verb. to leap

A verb in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “to leap” under the early root ᴱ√HALA (QL/39). In Tolkien’s later writings √KHAL instead meant “raise up” and was the basis for words like halla “tall” (PE17/184).

lassea

adjective. with leaves, leafy

A word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “with leaves, leafy”, an adjective form of ᴱQ. lasse “leaf” (QL/51).

Neo-Quenya: Since both lassë “leaf” and the adjective suffix -ëa survived in Tolkien’s later writing, I would retain ᴺQ. lassëa “with leaves, leafy” for purposes of Neo-Quenya. It also appeared in Q. lillassëa “having mean leaves” from the 1960s (MC/223).

laulesta-

verb. to lead a life, gain a living

A verb appearing as {laumeta- or laumesta- >>} ᴱQ. lausta- or laulesta- “lead a life, gain a living” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an elaboration of ᴱQ. laule “mode of life” (QL/52).

Neo-Quenya: Since I retain ᴺQ. laulë, I’d also retain ᴺQ. laulesta- for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

lunga(na)-

verb. to sag, bend (down), hang heavy, lean

kapanda

noun. jump

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. kapanda “a jump” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√KAPA “leap, spring” (QL/45).

Neo-Quenya: Since ᴹ√KAP “leap” survived in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺQ. capanda “jump” as well for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
