Early Quenya
aute
noun. goods, property, wealth, money
A noun for “goods, property, wealth, money” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√AW̯A (QL/33).
Neo-Quenya: Since √AW “possess, own, keep” resurfaced in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969, I would retain ᴺQ. autë for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but only in the sense “property”. For “goods” I would use ᴹQ. armar, for “wealth” ᴺQ. aurië, and for “money” telpë.
Qenya
aryon
noun. heir
Two similar words appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s: ᴹQ. aryon “heir” as a derivative of the root ᴹ√GAR, and ᴹQ. haryon “(heir) prince” as a derivative of the root ᴹ√ƷAR, both roots having to do with possession (Ety/GAR; Ety/ƷAR). Drafts of these entries had aryo, aryon “son of property = heir” and aryon “heir, prince” (EtyAC/GAR; EtyAC/ƷAR). Based on the gloss “son of property”, I think it is likely the second element of these words is the root ᴹ√YO(N) “son”.
Neo-Quenya: It is possible Tolkien intended haryon and aryon to coexist, but since we have other “prince” words I would just use aryon “heir = one who inherits wealth” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
armar
collective noun. goods
A plural noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “goods” derived from the root ᴹ√GAR (Ety/GAR). It was initially given as singular arma meaning {“possessions, goods, property” >>} “a piece of good or property” (EtyAC/GAR, ƷAR).
Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. vakt- “wares” under the early root ᴱ√VAKA (QL/99).
hilde
noun. heir
Edain
rêda
noun. heir
Early Noldorin
moir
noun. goods
A (singular) noun for “goods” in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s, based on the adjective ᴱN. maur “good” (PE13/150). Moir was originally the plural of the adjective, but Tolkien later decided the plural form of the adjective was identical to its singular form and moir was a noun instead.
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”.
