nut- vb. "tie" (1st pers. aorist nutin "I tie") (NUT)

nútil (nútill-, pl. nútilli given) noun "under-point", term used in children's play for "toe" (the counterpart of ortil, q.v.) (VT47:10)

nuxo noun “Petty dwarf” (PE17:45; the spellings “nukso” and “nuxo” both occur in the source). Elsewhere the Petty-dwarves are called Picinaucor or Pitya-naucor, q.v.

-nwa is said to be “a passive suffix” irregularly occurring in the word vanwa “lost” (PE17:63), the word seems to be irregular since the underlying root means “go away” and so vanwa is in a sense a past active participle, *“having gone”. Compare PE17:68.

nwalca ("k") adj. "cruel" (ÑGWAL; this must represent earlier *ñwalca = *ngwalca; these forms are not given in Etym, but compare nwalmë below. In Tengwar writing, the initial NW would be represented by the letter nwalmë.)

nwalma noun "pain" (VT46:4. In Tengwar writing, the initial NW would be represented by the letter nwalmë.)

nwalmë noun "torment", also name of tengwa #20. Originally pronounced ngwalmë; initial ng had become n in Third Age pronunciation (Appendix E). In Tengwar writing, the initial NW would be represented by the letter nwalmë.

nwalya- vb. "to pain, torment" (ÑGWAL; this must represent earlier *ñwalya = *ngwalya; these forms are not given in Etym, but compare nwalmë above. In Tengwar writing, the initial NW would be represented by the letter nwalmë.)
