A noun appearing as ᴱQ. vene in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, initially glossed “small boat” and then with the glosses “vessel, dish” added, listed under the early root ᴱ√VENE {“small boat” >>} “shape, cut out, scoop” (QL/100-101).
Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. venë for purposes of Neo-Quenya with the more limited meaning “[eating] vessel, dish”. I would reconceive of it as a derivative of the 1930s root ᴹQ. BEN “corner, angle”.
Name of a very early map showing the lands of Middle-earth as parts of a ship, translated by Christopher Tolkien as “Shape of the Earth” or “Vessel of the Earth” (LT1/84-5), a combination of i “the”, vene “vessel” and kemen “Earth”.
