yanta

adjective. joined

An adjective appearing in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s as ᴱQ. yanta “joined” (PE16/142) likely based on the early root ᴱ√ẎATA “join” (QL/105).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would update this to ᴺQ. yantaina “joined” as a passive participle of ᴺQ. yanta- “to join”.

ya(n)

conjunction. and

The usual word for “and” in the 1910s was ᴱQ. ya(n) (PE15/69, VT40/8). It was derived from the early root ᴱ√YA (or possibly ᴱ√(D)YṆTṆ) in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/104-105). In his later writings, the usual word for “and” was Q. ar, but something like ya(n) survived in the “dual” conjunction yo “both ... and”.
