Endero (archaic or
alternative Quenya form?) a surname of Tulkas (NDER)
eredê
"seed" (ERÉD)
ereqa
"isolated" (ERE; this seems to be an unorthodox spelling for *erekwa, unless
Tolkien wanted to denote that original [kw] had merged into a single labio-velar
sound - or this may be an indication that what is normally spelt "kw"

mori
"black", "dark(ness)" (MOR, Letters:382, WJ:362; the

Avari, as opposed to Kala-kwendî (WJ:373)
mornâ
"dark" (Letters:382)

narâka
"rushing, rapid, violent" (NÁRAK)
narwâ "fiery
red" (NAR1; the wording in this entry in Etym may seem to suggest that
this is a Quenya word, but the long final vowel indicates that it is meant to
be Primitive Elvish.)
natsai
"gore" (This is not the pl. of Sindarin naith, but
an archaic pl. form that sg. naith is derived from.)
(SNAS/SNAT)
naukâ adjective
"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)
naufie
"imagination" (NOWO; the letter fi
represents th as in English thing. This sound apparently did
not occur in the most primitive language [though the aspirate TH did], so naufie must
rather be archaic Quenya. Cf. also the form of the root, suggesting that at the
oldest stage, the initial syllable was *nou- rather
than nau-.)

the meaning that developed later. Confused with nôrê.

okta
"strife" (KOT > KOTH); cf. also the entry OKTÂ (> Quenya

not just a "stem". The primitive word was evidently oktâ.
Olo(s)-fantur >

not occurring in the primitive language, this must be taken as archaic Quenya.)

a later work)
ortur-
"master, conquer" (TUR)
ostô (CE) "fortress,

"strengthened stem" gruk- and the "elaborated" guruk-, ñguruk
(the latter by combination with a distinct stem NGUR
"horror", WJ:415). None of these derivatives are clearly glossed,
though urku (or uruku) is said to have yielded Quenya urko, vague in

"axe-stroke" (SYAD)
sjadâ (meaning

vigour" (WEG; given this root, this word must be proto-Quenya for
earlier *wegê)
[wed-tâ]
"swear" (to do something) (WED)
wedâ
"bond" (WED)
wegô
"man", in compounds -wego with short final vowel (WEG)
wegtê ("weg-tê") (Unglossed;
Christopher Tolkien therefore thinks the entry WEG "was left
unfinished", but this is rather the primitive form of the element -waith, -weith in
Sindarin Forodweith, Forodwaith "Northmen" mentioned
just before.) (WEG)
-wego, -weg (compound
form) "man", frequent element in masculine names (WEG)
wei (archaic
element meaning "wind, weave") (WEY)
weirê
"Weaver", the archaic form that yielded Quenya Vairë, name of a
Valië (stem WEY "weave", LR:398). Note, however, that Tolkien in
a later source derives Vairë from a stem WIR and states that it
is A-infixed to express "Ever-weaving"; this would point to
a primitive form *Wairê (not explicitly mentioned). (VT39:10)
wen-
"maiden" (WEN/WENED)
wilmâ "air,
lower air" (distinct from the 'upper' air of the stars, or the 'outer').
Changed by Tolkien from wilwâ. (WIL)
[windi
"blue-grey, pale blue or grey" (WIN/WIND)]
windiâ "pale
blue" (It is uncertain whether Tolkien rejected this word or not.)
(WIN/WIND)
wingê "foam,
crest of wave, crest" (WIG)
[winjâ
"evening" (WIN/WIND)]
[winta-
"fade" (WIN/WIND)]
wô, prefix wo-
"together", a dual adverb "together", referring to the
junction of two things, or groups, in a pair or whole. (WJ:361) The Etymologies likewise has
wô, wo "together" (evidently PQ, since it yielded CE wa), but
nothing is there said about this being exclusively dual. (WÔ)
Wolwê (CE) hypothetical
early form of Olwë; Tolkien points out that this should rather
have yielded Volwë in Telerin, so this reconstruction may be
doubtful (PM:357)
