A variant word for “thousand” from the Early Qenya Grammar (EQG) of the 1920s as a combination of ᴱQ. tuksa “hundred” and ᴱQ. kainen “ten”, following the pattern of words like ᴱQ. kan(ta)kainen “forty” (PE14/50, 83). Properly it is tuksa kainen, shortened to either tuksakainen or tuksainen. Compare ᴱQ. húme “thousand”.

A variant word for “one hundred twenty” from the Early Qenya Grammar (EQG) of the 1920s as a combination of ᴱQ. yunqe “twelve” and ᴱQ. kainen “ten”, following the pattern of words like ᴱQ. kan(ta)kainen “forty” (PE14/50, 83). Compare more ordinary ᴱQ. yukainen tuksa.
In the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, ᴱQ. tuksa was the number “144” [twelve twelves], also translated as a “gross” and based the early root ᴱ√TUKU (QL/95), apparently part of a duodecimal counting system. In this document, the word for “hundred” was ᴱQ. tuksa pínea [little hundred] or tuksa lempea [decimal hundred]. In the Early Qenya Grammar (EQG) of the 1920s, however, tuksa simply meant “hundred” without any reference to duodecimals (PE14/49, 83).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I use ᴺQ. tuxa for “hundred” since there are no other clear alternatives.
