Early Quenya

sist(e)

noun. ulcer, sore, boil

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. sist “ulcer, sore” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SṢTYṢ (QL/86). In the Early Qenya Phonology it was siste “ulcer, boil” from primitive ᴱ✶sṣtē (PE12/14).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. sistë “ulcer, sore, boil” for purposes of Neo-Quenya based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√SISTI.

A word appearing as ᴱQ. sistina “ulcerated, sore” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. sist “ulcer, sore” (QL/86).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. sistina “ulcerated, sore” for purposes of Neo-Quenya based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√SISTI. This adjective can only refer to an actual injury, rather than simple aching muscles from overexertion.

hes

noun. brother, sister, *sibling

A word ᴱQ. hes in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with stem form hest-. It was used as a generic term for “brother, sister”, hence = “✱sibling”, and derived from the early root ᴱ√HESE (QL/40).
