lerya-

verb. to release, set free, let go

A verb for “release, set free, let go” in notes from 1959-60, derived from the root √LER “free” (VT41/5; PE17/160).

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. fainu- “release” under the early root ᴱ√FAẎA, also having to do with freedom (QL/37).

-enca

without, -less

-enca suffix "without, -less" (PE17:167), cf. nec-, q.v.

au-

without

au- (3) privative prefix, = "without" (AWA)

ava-

without

ava- (3) prefix "without" (AR2, AWA). In some cases apparently used as a mere negation prefix: The form avalerya in VT41:6 is seemingly a negated form of the verb lerya- "release, set free"; the verb avalerya- is suggested to have the same meaning as the root KHAP = "bind, make fast, restrain, deprive of liberty". Likewise, the verb avalatya- from the same source seems to mean "to close, shut", this being a negated form of a verb *latya- "open" (q.v.)

fainu-

release

fainu- vb. "release" (LT1:250). Rather lerya- or sen- in Tolkien's later Quenya.

nec-

without, -less

nec- prefix "without, -less" (PE17:167), cf. -enca, q.v.

nec-

prefix. without

pen

without, not having

[pen prep. "without, not having" (PE17:171). Cf. Ú #1.]

perina

divided in middle, halved

perina adj.? *"divided in middle, halved" (PER) The word is not glossed, but seems to connect with the verb perya- "halve". If the relationship is the same as between the verb lerya- "to free" and the adj. lerina "free", then perina is most likely an adjective "halved"d.

ú

without, destitute of

ú (1) adv. and prep. "without, destitute of" (VT39:14). Usually followed by genitive: ú calo "without light" (cala). In one source, ú is seemingly also used as a negative verb "was not" (VT49:13), but Tolkien revised the text in question.

leithia-

verb. to release, to release, [N.] set free

A verb appearing in its [Noldorin] infinitive form N. lheitho “to release, set free” under the root ᴹ√LEK “loose, let loose, release” (Ety/LEK). Here the initial lh is the result of the Noldorin unvoicing of initial l, a sound change Tolkien abandoned for Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s, and indeed this entry also had an “EN” [Exhilic Noldorin] form leithia- “to release”, consistent with the use of Leithian “Release from Bondage” in The Silmarillion (S/162).

erefainu

noun. release

A noun(?) in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “release” as combination of ᴱQ. ere- “out” and ᴱQ. fainu- “to release” (QL/36). Tolkien said that “f [was] retained because of cpd. sense”, in other words intervocalic f did not become v as it usually did in Early Qenya (PE12/20) because it was part of a recognized compound. This word also had a variant erevainu where the intervocalic change did occur.
