nauca

stunted

nauca ("k")adj. "stunted" (VT39:7), "stunted, shortened, dwarf(ed)" (PE17:45), especially applied to things that though in themselves full-grown were smaller or shorter than their kind, and were hard, twisted or ill-shapen (WJ:413). The word can also be used as a noun "dwarf" (PE17:45), the meaning it also had in Tolkiens early "Qenya" (LT1:261), but the distinct noun-form Nauco may be more usual.
