allaro

adverb. *for no reason

A correlative combination appearing as {láqaro >>} allaro in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/112 and note #149), combinations of ᴹQ. alla “none” and ᴹQ. -ro “reason”.

haparo

adverb. *for about the same reason

A correlative combination in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/112), a combination of ᴹQ. hap- “about the same” and ᴹQ. -ro “reason”.

immaro

adverb. *for any reason

The correlative ᴹQ. immaro appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/112), a combination of ᴹQ. imma “any” and ᴹQ. -ro “reason”.

Neo-Quenya: Since ᴹQ. imma “any” too closely resembles the later prefix Q. im- “same”, for purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. airo “for any reason” using the hypothetical prefix ᴺQ. ai(a)- “any”; see that entry for discussion.

iro

preposition. *for the same reason as

The correlative ᴹQ. iro appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/111), a combination of the relative pronoun ᴹQ. i and ᴹQ. -ro “reason”.

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. yaro “for the same reason as” using the relative pronoun ya more commonly used in declined forms in later writings, such as Q. yassë “where [relative]”. For example: nilin Quenya yaro lye “I love Quenya for the same reason as you”. Hat-tip to Vyacheslav Stepanov for suggesting this gloss; compare ᴹQ. inárea “as old as” and Q. yallë “in the same way as”.

maro

adverb. why, for what reason

A correlative meaning “why, for what reason” appearing in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/112), a combination of interrogative ᴹQ. ma and ᴹQ. -ro “reason”. It replaced (dative?) forms main, maina (PE23/112 note #148).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I currently recommend maro as the Quenya interrogative for “why”. There is another word for “why” appearing in DRC of slightly different meaning ᴹQ. mámen “why, aiming at what”, but this uses the sense “aim” for ᴹQ. men- that was probably abandoned by the 1960s. Prior to the publication of PE23, I recommended using ᴺQ. manan “why = for what” created by Petri Tikka, a dative formation.

ondaro

adverb. *for the very same reason

The correlative ᴹQ. ondaro appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/112), a combination of ᴹQ. on- “same” and ᴹQ. -ro “reason”.

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. imaro “for the very same reason” using im- “same”.

qá(qe)ro

adverb. by all means, for every reason, on all accounts

The correlative ᴹQ. qáqero or qáro “by all means, for every reason, on all accounts” appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/112), a combination of ᴹQ. qa(qe)- “all” and ᴹQ. -ro “reason”. These replaced rejected ilqaro (PE23/112 note #150).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. illiro “for every reason” using il- “all”.

saro

adverb. therefore, for that reason named, and so

A correlative appearing in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/112), a combination of ᴹQ. sa “that [anaphoric]” and ᴹQ. -ro “reason”.
