raen

adjective. netted, enlaced

An adjective glossed “netted, enlaced” in notes on The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor from 1967-69 based on the root √RAY “net, knit, contrive network or lace; involve in a network, enlace” (VT42/11-12). It was an element in the name Gilraen.

raew

noun. net

A noun given as raef or raew “net” in notes on The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor from 1967-69 based on the root √RAY “net, knit, contrive network or lace; involve in a network, enlace”, a blending of the ancient forms of its Quenya equivalents Q. raima “net” and Q. raiwë “lace” (VT42/12). In a draft of this etymology appearing in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969, the only form given was raef, equivalent to Q. raima “a net” (PE22/159). Since usually [[s|final -m > -f [v] > -w after the diphthong ae]], I suspect raef is an archaic form and raew is modern Sindarin.

adj. smiling, gracious, sweet-faced. Q. raina. >> Gilraen

noun. extent, reach, scope; region, sphere, district

A neologism coined by Röandil on 2023-07-19, derived from ᴹ√RAK “stretch out, reach” and inspired by ᴺS. raeth of the same meaning. I would use it for the senses “extent, reach, scope”, but not for the senses “region, sphere, district” for which there are plenty of attested words.

raicë

noun. wrong

raita-

verb. to smile

A verb for “smile” in notes probably from the late 1950s, base the root √RAY of similar meaning and having a half-strong past reante (PE17/182). It was connected to the name Gilraen.

Conceptual Development: In notes from the late 1960s Gilraen was still connected to √RAY, but the root’s gloss was changed to “net, knit”, and the verb raita- was translated “make network or lace; catch in a net” (VT42/11-12).

Neo-Quenya: Very likely these two meanings for the verb were not compatible in Tolkien’s mind. However, since we have no better words for “smile”, I would retain raita- “smile” for purpose of Neo-Quenya as a homonym of raita- “net or lace” with distinct past forms: half-strong reante “smiled” vs. strong raine “netted, laced, made net/lace”.

raica

adjective. crooked, crooked, [ᴹQ.] bent, wrong

raima

noun. net

A word for “a net” in notes on The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor from 1967-69, derived from the root √RAY “net, knit, contrive network or lace” (VT42/12). Tolkien briefly changed this word to raime “network, lace”, but then wrote “stet [let it stand]” indicating a restoration of the original form (VT42/28 note #24), giving raiwë for “lace” instead (see that entry for discussion). This word was also contrasted with rembë “net (for catching)” on the same page, so it seems raima applied to woven or crafted nets for any purpose, not just catching prey. The word raima “a net” also appeared in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969 as a derivative of √RAY “net, knit (contrive a network)”, but in that (probably earlier) document the root also meant “catch, involve (in a net)” (PE22/159).

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. makse “net” based on the early root ᴱ√MAKA [ŊʷAKA] (QL/58).
