Early Quenya

nes

noun. food, feed, fodder

A word appearing as ᴱQ. nes (nest-) “food, feed, fodder” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√NESE “(give to feed); pasture” (QL/66).

Neo-Quenya: I think this word is salvageable as ᴺQ. nes (nest-) for purposes of Neo-Quenya as a derivative of the salvaged Neo-Root ᴺ√NES.

nes

noun. mead, valley, land

A noun given as archaic ᴱQ. †nes (ness-) “mead, valley, land” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the root ᴱ√NEŘE [NEÐE], but Tolkien indicated it should be transferred to ᴱ√NESE, which is a much more plausible root for this word (QL/66).

nessa

feminine name. Nessa

nesta-

verb. to feed

The verb ᴱQ. nesta- “feed” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s as a derivative of the early root ᴱ√NESE “give to feed; feed, pasture; graze” (QL/66). It has past forms nēse and nesse, indicating a close relationship to the verb ᴱQ. nese- “graze, pasture, give to feed, feed” from the same root, which likely would have had the same or similar past-tense forms.

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would combine both these early verbs into ᴺQ. nesta- “to graze, pasture, give to feed, feed”, derived from the Neo-Root ᴺ√NES.

nessele

noun. pasture, mead; pasturage

The noun ᴱQ. nessele appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with the gloss “pasture, mead; also = pasturage”, a derivative of the early root ᴱ√NESE “give to feed; feed, pasture; graze” (QL/66). It was also mentioned in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the gloss “pasture” (PME/66).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain this word as ᴺQ. nesselë “pasture, mead[ow]; pasturage” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, derived from the Neo-Root ᴺ√NES.
