nossetur

noun. patriarch, family head

A neologism for “patriarch” or “family head” coined by Helge Fauskanger for his NQNT (NQNT), a combination of nossë “family” and -tur “master”. Helge coined another neologism for “patriarch”, ᴺQ. atartur with initial element atar “father”, but I prefer nossetur.
