tyé

noun. tea

A word for “tea” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, clearly a loan word from some mortal language, though the path of transmission isn’t clear (QL/49). European words for “tea” are generally based on either Mandarin ch’a via Portuguese or Amoy t’e (a Chinese dialect) via Dutch, becoming in English “chai” or “tea” respectively.

tyetse

noun. teat

A word appearing as ᴱQ. tyetse “a teat” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1920s under the early root ᴱ√TYETE “give suck” (QL/50), also appearing in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the gloss “teat” (PME/50).

Neo-Quenya: I think this word is worth retaining as ᴺQ. tyetsë “teat, ✱nipple” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

titte

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. titte in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s, the cognate of ᴱN. tith “breast, teat” derived from primitive ᴱ✶titté (PE13/154).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I think ᴺQ. tittë is worth retaining with the sense “breast (of a woman)”, but for “teat, ✱nipple” I’d used ᴺQ. tyetsë.

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. peqe- “to comb, card wool, tease” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√PEQE (QL/73).

Neo-Quenya: I think it is worth retaining ᴺQ. pequ- for purposes of Neo-Quenya as a derivative of a Neo-Root ᴺ√PEK(W) “comb”.
