randa

noun. bark; peel, rind, outer ring, circumference

A word for “bark” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, also glossed “peel, rind, outer ring, circumference” and derived from the early root ᴱ√RAŘA [RAÐA] (QL/79).

rauste

noun. hunting, preying, the hunt

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “hunting, preying” based on the early root ᴱ√RAVA (QL/79). It appeared in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the gloss “the hunt” (PME/79).

rauta-

verb. to chase, hunt, pursue; to extirpate, exterminate; to steal

A verb in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “chase, hunt, pursue; extirpate, exterminate” based on the early root ᴱ√RAVA (QL/79). In the Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s it appeared in the phrase ᴱQ. ya qensie melmur ne iksa telpe rautanéma “by whom we were told that his money had all been stolen from him”, so apparently meaning “to steal” in this document (PE14/54).

ramandur

masculine name. Shouter, Screecher

Early (rejected) name of Sorontur in the earliest Lost Tales (LT1/89), glossed “Shouter” or “Screecher” (QL/79; PME/79), perhaps some agental formation from the verb rama- “to shout”. It also appeared as Ramandor and Ramandorin (QL/79).

rakte

noun. pile, heap

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “a pile, heap” as a derivative of the early root ᴱ√RAKA “pile up” (QL/78).

ran

noun. noise

A word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s given as ran (ram-) “noise”, from the early root ᴱ√RAMA (QL/78-79).

rausima

adjective. *hunted

An adjective in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s described as the passive equivalent of ᴱQ. raustea “of prey” (QL/79), hence describing animals that are hunted rather than animals that do the hunting.

raustea

adjective. of prey

An adjective form of the noun ᴱQ. rauste “hunting” with the translation “of prey” (QL/79), hence used of animals do hunting.

ravenne

noun. she-lion

A word appearing as ᴱQ. ravenne “she-lion” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a feminine variant of ᴱQ. rau “lion” (QL/79). It was also mentioned in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/79).

Neo-Quenya: This word could plausibly be derived from the root ᴹ√RAW that was the basis for later “lion” words, so I would retain this word as ᴺQ. ravennë “she-lion, ✱lioness” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

rausime

noun. vermin

The word ᴱQ. rausime “vermin” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, apparently a noun form of the adjective ᴱQ. rausima “✱hunted” under the early root ᴱ√RAVA (QL/79), thus meaning “a thing hunted”.

Neo-Quenya: This pattern may be modernized as a neologism ᴺQ. farinë “vermin”, a noun form of the passive participle farina “hunted” of the verb fara- “hunt”.

falqa

noun. (mountain) pass, ravine, cliff, cleft

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “cleft, cliff, pass in mountains, ravine”, a derivative of ᴱ√FḶKḶ “cleave, hew” (QL/38). It also appeared in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the gloss “pass, ravine, cliff” (PME/38). In the Name-list to The Fall of Gondolin the word falqa was mentioned as a cognate to G. falc “cleft” (PE15/24) and a variant form falqe appeared as a cognate to ᴱN. falch “cleft, ravine” in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s (PE13/143). There is no mention of the Qenya form thereafter, though its cognate seems to have survived in Sindarin as an element of the name S. Orfalch Echor (S/239).

kiris iluqingatelda

place name. Gully of the Rainbow Roof

In an early name list, Qenya cognate of G. Cris a Teld Quing Ilon, precursor to S. Cirith Ninniach (PE13/101). It is a combination of kiris “cleft”, iluqinga “rainbow” and telda “(having a) roof”, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT2A/Teld Quing Ilon). In one early name list it appeared beside a variant form Kiris Ilqintelimba (PE13/101) where the second element contained telimbo “canopy”. Yet another variant form, Ilwerantelimba appeared in a different name list (PE15/21), with the initial element ilweran(ta) “rainbow”.

kate

noun. gleam, ray

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “a gleam, ray” derived from the early root ᴱ√KATYA (QL/45).

kumpo

noun. pile

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “pile” appearing as a derivative of the root ᴱ√KUMU “heap up”, but Tolkien considered transferring it to ᴱ√KUPU “hump” (QL/49).

niqista-

verb. to snow

A verb for “to snow” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with variants niqista- and niqisya-, both elaborations of ᴱQ. niqis “snow” (QL/66).

rámavoite

adjective. winged, having wings

A word appearing as ᴱQ. rámavoite “winged” or “having wings” in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. ráma “wing” (QL/57, 78; PME/57). In the English-Qenya Dictionary it had two forms: rámaite and rámavoite (PE15/79).

Neo-Quenya: Since -itë remains an adjective suffix in later Quenya, I would retain this word as ᴺQ. rámaitë “winged, having wings”.

rána númetar

the moon went down in the West

The fourteenth phrase of the first version of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/221). Its first word is Rána “moon” followed by the present 3rd-singular masculine form of númeta- “to go down”.

Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:

> rána númeta-r = “✱moon goes-down-he”

Conceptual Development: This phrase appeared in the fourth draft of this poem, with Tolkien considering the forms númetorana >> númetáro for the verb before settling on númetar (OM1d: PE16/62). The phrase remained the same thereafter.

ránuringwi

noun. sun and moon

An (archaic?) dual formation for the “sun and moon” appearing in the Early Qenya Grammar and English-Qenya Dictionary of the 1920s (PE14/76; PE15/75), except that it appears to be a combination of ᴱQ. Rána “moon” and the dual variant of ᴱQ. rinku “orb of the moon”, hence is actually “moon and moon”.

rávi

feminine name. Rávi

A name Meásse in the Qenya Lexicon from the 1910s (QL/79), derived from the root ᴱ√RAVA having to do with hunting, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Meássë).

silmeráno tindon

shining in the silver moon

The twelfth phrase of the first version of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/220). Its first word is the genitive form of silmerána “gleaming moon” followed by the aorist 3rd-plural masculine form of the verb tini- “to shine, gleam”. The subject of this phrase is actually ondolin “rocks” appearing in the previous phrase, with the genitive silmeráno giving the context in which the rocks shine. A more literal translation would be “✱of the gleaming moon they shine”.

Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:

> silme-rán-o tin-don = “✱gleaming-moon-of shine-they”

Conceptual Development: This phrase appeared in the fourth draft of this poem as no silmerána tindon, with no “under” serving the same role as the genitive (OM1d: PE16/62), hence “✱under the gleaming moon they shine”. Tolkien switched to the final form of the phrase in the sixth draft (OM1f: PE16/74).

anda-ráma

adjective. long-arm(ed); long-wing(ed)

A word for “long-arm(ed)” in the manuscript version of Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s (PE14/45), changed to “long-wing” in the typescript version (PE14/75). The word appeared with the glosses “long-wing” (PE15/74) or “longwinged” (PE15/79) in the contemporaneous English-Qenya Dictionary. It was a combination of ᴱQ. anda “long” and ᴱQ. ráma which was usually glossed “wing”, but in one place in the 1920s was glossed “arm, wing” (PE16/137).

húro ulmula

the storm mumbling

The twentieth line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/214). The first word is húro “storm” followed by the adjective (active-participle?) ulmula “mumbling”.

Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:

> húro ulmula = “✱storm mumbling”

mána

adjective. dead

An adjective for “dead” in the Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s based on the verb ᴱQ. maka- “die” (PE14/58).

rámali tíne

the wings shining

The eleventh line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/213). The first word is the plural of ráma “wing”, followed by the “bare stem” infinitive of the verb tini- “to shine” as suggested by Gilson, Welden, and Hostetter (PE16/84, notes on line #10 and #11), apparently functioning as either an active-participle or a verbal object.

Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:

> ráma-li tíne = “✱wing-(plural) shining”

tarukka

adjective. horned

A word for “horned” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. taru “horn” (QL/57, 89). It was also mentioned in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/57).

tinwelindon talalínen

on wings like stars

The eighth line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/213). The first word is adverbial plural form of tinwe “star”, followed by the instrumental plural form of tala “sail”, poetically translated “wings” in the English.

Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:

> tinwe-li-ndon tala-lí-nen = “✱star-(plural)-like sail-(plural)-on”

turwa

adjective. powerful

An adjective for “powerful” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√TURU “am strong” (QL/96).

Neo-Quenya: Since √TUR remains connected to power in Tolkien’s later writings, I’d retain this word for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but I’d use it for general or abstract forms of potency, as opposed to being physically powerful (turca or [ᴹQ.] poldórea) or politically powerful (túrëa). For example: turwa nus “a powerful smell” or turwa vangwe “a powerful storm”.

vasse

noun. wing

A word for “wing” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√VASA (QL/100). A similar word ’wasse appeared under the early root ᴱ√GWASA (QL/103). The word vasse “wing” also appeared in the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon (GL/22) and again in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/137), but not thereafter.

warda

adjective. dead

An adjective for “dead” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√GWṚÐṚ “die” (QL/104), given as a cognate to G. gwarth “dead (only of persons)” in the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon (GL/44).

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. aiqasse “precipice” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a noun formation from 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. aiquassë.

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would adapt this word as ᴺQ. orendë as a combination of later prefix Q. o- “together” and ᴺQ. rendë “kin”. Furthermore, I would use it specifically for a nuclear family (just the parents and children), as opposed to Q. nossë which seems to refer to an extended family or clan.
