lepta

anda-lepta

adjective. long-fingered

An adjective for “long-fingered” in the English-Qenya Dictionary of the 1920s, a combination of ᴱQ. anda “long” and ᴱQ. lepta “finger” (PE15/74).

tenna

noun. finger

A noun for “finger” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√TENE “touch, feel” (QL/91). It was also mentioned in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa, but with -nd- written above it indicating a variant form tenda (PME/91). A similar word tenge “finger” appeared Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/137), but ᴱQ. lepta was written next to it, perhaps as a replacement, since after this point finger-words were primarily based on √LEP.
