tyur

noun. cheese

The word for “cheese” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s was ᴱQ. tyur (tyurd-) derived from the early root ᴱ√TYURU “curdle” (QL/50). This became ᴱQ. tyurme “cheese” in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/141).

Neo-Quenya: I’d use ᴺQ. tyurmë “cheese” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, derived from a Neo-Root ᴺ√KYUR.

The word for “cheese” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s was G. cûr, related to G. caura “sour (of milk)” and derived from the early root ᴱ√TYURU “curdle” (GL/26, 28; QL/50). In Gnomish Lexicon Slips added to that document, “cheese” was instead cír from primitive ᴱ√tyus, with an alternate form cur written in pencil above it (PE13/113). In Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s, “cheese” became ᴱN. corn from primitive ᴱ✶kyurna (PE13/140).

Neo-Sindarin: Of these, I prefer ᴺS. cûr for “cheese”, since ᴱN. corn “cheese” collides with later N. corn “round”. I assume ᴺS. cûr is derived from a Neo-Root ᴺ√KYUR “curdle”, perhaps from primitive ✱kyūrŭ.
