man

pronoun. what

man(an)

adverb. when

The correlatives manan or man “when” appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/109), a combination of interrogative ᴹQ. ma and ᴹQ. -n(an) “time”.

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would stick to ᴹQ. mallume, since I think -n(an) was abandoned.

man(de)

adverb. how (to what degree, extent), how great, how far

The correlatives ᴹQ. man or mande “how (to what degree, extent)” appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/111), a combination of interrogative ᴹQ. ma and ᴹQ. -n(de) “degree”.

hanu

noun. male, man (of Men or Elves), male animal

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “a male, man (of Men or Elves), male animal” derived from the root ᴹ√ƷAN “male” (Ety/ƷAN). The first version of this entry gave it the gloss “male (of all creatures)” (EtyAC/ƷAN).

Conceptual Development: In the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s this word appeared as ᴱQ. anu “a male” (QL/31), also appearing in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the gloss “man” (PME/31).

In drafts for the first version of Quenya Personal Pronouns (QPP1) from the late 1940s, Tolkien had various adjectival forms based on the root ᴹ√NŌ/ONO “beget” (vs. ᴹ√RÉ “bear, produce”), including ᴹQ. noa, nóna, or ᴹQ. noito “male (of any kind)” (PE23/87), but the relevant sections were rejected and elsewhere √NŌ is not specifically masculine.

-no

suffix. male

A masculinizing suffix for pronominal forms in Quenya Personal Pronouns (QPP1) from the late 1940s (PE23/102), so that for example mane “who (neutral)” could become mano “who (male)” and ane “someone” could become ano “someone (male)”. It is probably based on the contemporaneous masculine primitive suffix ✶-owo.
