A word in the Early Qenya Grammar (EQG) of the 1920s vaguely meaning “a very great number”, sometimes also a “million” (PE14/83). The more precise numeric word for “million” was instead ᴱQ. mindóre.

A suffix for “long” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with variants lēni or lēnu, both base on the early root ᴱ√LENE “long” (QL/53). These Qenya suffixes were also mentioned in the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon (GL/39).
-lénu
suffix. long
anda

mindóra
cardinal. million
mindóre
cardinal. million
The manuscript version of the Early Qenya Grammar (EQG) of the 1920s had ᴱQ. mindóra “[one] million” (PE14/50), but in the typescript version this became ᴱQ. mindóre “million” (PE14/83), a combination of ᴱQ. min “one” and the “-illion” suffix ᴱQ. -(n)dóre.
Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. mindórë “million” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, as we have no better alternatives.
A word in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, the Qenya equivalent of G. sûr “long, trailing” (GL/68).
