sinome

adverb. [in this place]

sinomë

adverb. here, (lit.) in this place

A word for “in this place” appearing in Elendil’s Oath (LotR/967). It also appeared in a list of demonstratives from 1968 with the glosses “in this place, here” (VT49/18), a combination of si “this” and nómë “place”. Similarly formed ᴹQ. {sinnome >>} sinome appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/112).

Conceptual Development: Drafts of Elendil’s Oath from the 1940s had símane (SD/56), while Fíriel’s Song from the 1930s had ᴹQ. símen “here” (LR/72), where the second element was ᴹQ. men “place”.

hí adv. "here" (VT49:34)

hí

adverb. here, here [ᴹQ.] (for both you and me), now

A word for “here” in notes from the late 1960s, derived from primitive ✶khĭn- (VT49/34). It seems to be part of an attempt to explain S. hí “now”.

Conceptual Development: Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 had a root √KHI that was a “demonstrative of 1st pers (b)”, that is “here by us” (PE23/96). It had a derived form ᴹQ. hi that could be used both spatially (“here by us”) and temporally (“now”). Primitive ✶khi was mentioned again in Eldarin Pronouns, Demonstratives, and Correlatives from the early 1950s, but the page where it appeared was deleted (PE23/131 note #31).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would assume Q. hí had a meaning similar to its 1948 sense “here by us”, as opposed to the more general word sissë for “here”. On the basis of this hí, I would also used the 1948 elaborations of ᴹQ. hi such as ᴹQ. hina “this (by us)” or ᴹQ. hillo “hence (from us)”.

sissë

The words sís and sissë “here” appeared in a list of demonstratives from 1968 (VT49/18), combinations of si “this” and the locative suffix -ssë. Similarly formed ᴹQ. sisse “here” appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948, also with a short variant sis (PE23/108, 111). It also had a longer variant {sinas(se) >>} sinis(se).
