varassë

noun. cliff

A neologism coined by Paul Strack in 2018 specifically for Eldamo, the Quenya equivalent of S. brass. You may use this form if you prefer words based only on roots from Tolkien’s later writing, but I think ᴱQ. aiko “cliff” remains viable for Neo-Quenya writing if modernized to the form ᴺQ. aico.

Early Quenya

ollo

noun. cliff, seaward precipice

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, a cognate of G. ol “cliff, seaward precipice” and apparently of similar meaning (GL/62). It appeared as an element in the name ᴱQ. Eriollo “Ironcliffs” also appearing in the Gnomish Lexicon (GL/19; LT1A/Eriol), though in the tales themselves this name was {Erenol >>} ᴱQ. Evadrien “Coast of Iron” (LT2/313, 334). It might be related to the root ᴱ√OLO “tip” (QL/69).

aiko

noun. cliff

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. aiko (aiku-) “cliff” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, apparently a noun variant of ᴱQ. aiqa “steep” appearing nearby (QL/29). Since ᴹQ. aiqa “steep” continued to appear in Tolkien’s later writings (Ety/AYAK), perhaps this word can be salvaged for Neo-Quenya writing as ᴺQ. aico (aicu-).
