nertë
cardinal. nine
The Quenya word for “nine” derived from the root √NETER of the same meaning (PE17/95; VT42/26; VT48/6; Ety/NÉTER).
Conceptual Development: The Early Qenya Grammar (EQG) of the 1920s had ᴱQ. {huo >>} hue “nine” (PE14/49, 82), and the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. olme(t) “nine” under the early root ᴱ√OLO “tip” (QL/69).

olmë
odour
olmë noun "odour" (changed by Tolkien from holmë, VT46:6)
ñol-
smell
ñol- noun "smell" (VT45:5); strengthened aññol, q.v. Possibly ñol- should be regarded as simply the root underlying olmë, q.v.
nus
noun. smell
[holmë] noun "odour" (ÑOL; according to VT46:6, Tolkien struck out the initial h-, thus changing the word to olmë)
