maenas

noun. craft, handicraft, art

A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “craft, handicraft, art”, a noun form of N. maen “skilled, clever” (Ety/MAG). For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would use this word exclusively for skill of the hand, as opposed to curu that can apply to skill of the mind = cunning.
