öa-

verb. to possess, own, keep

A verb Tolkien coined in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) written in 1969 (PE22/155-156) to have the meaning “possess, own, keep (have in hand, use or with one)” (PE22/151). It was derived from the root √AW, apparently not in its usual sense “away”. Tolkien considered two base forms: auta- with pasts au̯ante, oante, vante, or oa- with past aune, future auva, and alternate present āva. Since auta- clashes with better known auta- “depart”, I recommended using oa- “possess, own, keep” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

garn

noun. property, ‘own’

A word for “property” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√GAR, also translated as “own” in quotes, perhaps indicating it was originally an adjective or past tense form indicating ownership based on the verb N. garo “to have, keep” (Ety/GAR).

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s G. guig “a piece of property” and G. guinoth “property”, both based on the past tense gui of G. gôtha- “possess, have, hold” (GL/42-43). G. guig appeared below an adjective G. guin “own, held, possessed”, and brace was added indicating these two entries were combined. This combination may have been mirrored by the two glosses “own” and “property” of later N. garn.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I prefer to use garn only for the noun “property”, and an adjective ᴺS. garnen for “owned, held, possessed”.

garn

noun. own, property

aw

root. possess, own, keep (have in hand, use or with one)

A root appearing in some late notes on verbs from around 1969, with the sense “possess, own, keep” (PE22/151). It seems to be a restoration of a much earlier root from the 1910s, which appeared as ᴱ√AW̯A in the Qenya Lexicon with derivatives having to do with wealth, such as ᴱQ. ausie “wealth” and ᴱQ. aute “rich” (QL/33), as well as Gnomish and Early Noldorin cognates G. avos “wealth” (GL/20) and ᴱN. awes “rich” (PE13/137). This root is a good example of how certain linguistic ideas could lay dormant for many years in Tolkien’s writing, only to reemerge much later. This makes it difficult to say for certain whether Tolkien really abandoned a particular idea.
