tar

noun. hedge, fence

tarkil

feminine name. Tarkil

Another name for Meásse in an early name list (PE14/15). The editors (Wynne, Gilson, Hostetter, Welden, Smith), suggested it might be derived from the root TARA “batter, thud, beat” (PE14/15; footnote #21).

tarukko

noun. bull, ox

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “bull” with variants tarukko and tarunko, an elaboration of ᴱQ. taru “horn” (QL/89). In the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon, taruku- was given as the Qenya cognate of G. tarog “ox” (GL/69).

taruktarna

place name. Oxford

A Qenya name for Oxford appear in the Qenya Lexicon from the 1910s as a combination of tarukko “ox” and tarna “ford” (QL/89).

tarambolaika

proper name. Thudder-sharp

Qenya cognate of Dramborleg in early name lists (PE13/103; PE15/22), it also appeared in the Qenya Lexicon (QL/89). It is a compound of tarambor “buffet” and laika “sharp”, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT2A/Dramborleg).

taran

noun. bang, buffet

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. taran (taramb-) or tarambo “a bang, buffet” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s as a derivative of the early root given as ᴱ√TARA(MA) “batter, thud, beat”, but actually ᴱ√DARA(MA) based on its Gnomish forms (QL/89); in Early Qenya, primitive initial d became t (PE12/17).

Neo-Quenya: The root ᴹ√DARAM “beat, hew” survived into The Etymologies of the 1930s, so ᴱQ. tarambo (< ✱darambō) may be salvageable in Neo-Quenya. In later Quenya phonology, initial primitive d usually became l, but I think in this case it would assimilate as n to the following nasal, aided by the similar root ᴹ√(N)DAM “hammer, beat”, so I would suggest ᴺQ. narambo “bang, buffet”.

tarqin(a)

noun/adjective. salted, dried; salt meat

A word appearing as ᴱQ. tarqin or tarqina “adj. salted, dried; (n.) salt meat” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. tarqa- “dry, preserve; pickle” under the early root ᴱ√TṚQṚ (QL/94). As such, it was probably originally an adjective, and its noun use for “salt meat” was based on that (= “✱preserves”).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. tarquin(a) “salt meat; salted, dried, ✱(orig.) preserved” for purposes of Neo-Quenya based the Neo-Root ᴺ√TARKWA.

tarwa

noun. garden, enclosure

A word appearing as ᴱQ. tarwa “garden, enclosure” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√TAÐA (QL/87). The Qenya Phonology from this period had [unglossed] tarva, the form in the Cortirion dialect where rw > rv (PE12/24). The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. tarwa as a cognate to G. taru “horned” but both these words were deleted (GL/69).

Neo-Quenya: I personally would retain ᴺQ. tarwa “garden, enclosure” for purposes of Neo-Quenya based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√TAD “enclosure”. For example, Helge Fauskanger used this word in his NQNT (NQNT). If, however, you find it dubious you might instead use the neologism ᴺQ. santa for “garden”, inspired by S. sant from the late 1960s (VT42/20).

tarukka

adjective. horned

A word for “horned” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. taru “horn” (QL/57, 89). It was also mentioned in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/57).

moritarnon

proper name. Door of Night

Gateway to the outer void in the earliest Lost Tales (LT1/222). Its initial element is móre “night” and its final element appears to be tarnon “door”, an otherwise unattested cognate of tarn “door”, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Moritarnon).

lotarwa

noun. garden

A word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “garden” based on lōtetarwa, a combination of ᴱQ. lóte “flower” and ᴱQ. tarwa “garden” (QL/55).

Neo-Quenya: Since Q. lótë “flower” survives in Tolkien’s later writing and I retain ᴺQ. tarwa for purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would retain ᴺQ. lotarwa as well, but with the more specific sense “[flower] garden”.
