yéma
noun. face
A word for “face” appearing in Early Qenya Word-lists from the 1920s (PE16/136) as well as in a list of body parts from the same period (PE14/117). It may be derived from the early root ᴱ√DYĒ whose derivatives have to do with “gaze” or “look at” (QL/105), as suggested by Patrick Wynne (VT49/21).
