nornea
adjective. *of oak
An adjectival form of ᴹQ. norno appearing in The Etymologies of the 1930s as an element in ᴹQ. lindornea “having many oak-trees” (Ety/DÓRON). Here the ancient initial d- was preserved in the compound, but would have become n- as an independent word.
Conceptual Development: ᴱQ. nornea “of oak” also appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s as an adjectival form of ᴱQ. norne “oak-tree” (QL/67).
