Quettaparma Quenyallo

participle? "blowing" (MC:213; this is "Qenya")

putta noun "stop" (in punctuation) (PUT; see PUS). According to VT46:10, a dot under a letter is intended, possibly indicating that the consonant is not followed by a vowel; cf. VT46:33 and see VT49:38, 40 regarding an actual example of such punctuation in a Tengwar sample.


quácë ("k") noun "frog"; this replaced coacë ("koake"), a form rejected by Tolkien (VT47:36)

quáco ("q") noun "crow" (WJ:395; Etym also has corco, q.v.)

quain cardinal "ten" (also quëan); quainëa ordinal "tenth" (VT48:6, 20; VT42:25). Quain or quëan replaced the form cainen in Tolkien’s conception.

quainë ("q") adj.? or participle? "wailing (pl.)" (MC:213; this is "Qenya")

quaican, cardinal "fourteen" (but *canaquë may be preferred) (VT48:21)

quailepen, cardinal "fifteen" (but lepenquë may be preferred) (VT48:21)

quainel, cardinal "thirteen" (but yunquentë may be preferred) (VT48:21)

quainquë, cardinal "sixteen" (but enenquë may be preferred) (VT48:21)

*quaista, reconstructed/updated fraction "one tenth"; see caista.

qual- vb. “to die”, pa.t. quallë (PE16:143)

qualin ("q") adj. "dead" (KWAL, LT1:264)

qualmë ("q") noun "agony, death" (KWAL, LT1:264)

qualumë ("q") participle? "heaving" (MC:214; this is "Qenya")

quama- (“q”) verb “vomit; be sick”, pa.t. quámë (QL:76)

quámë ("q") noun "sickness" (KWAM), “sickness, nausea” (QL:76). Earlier material also gives quámë as the past tense of the related verb quama- “vomit, be sick”.

quámëa (“q”) adj. “sick” (evidently = nauseous, cf. quámë and the verb quama-) (QL:76)

quanda ("q") adj: i quanda "all the, the whole" (apparently to be followed by a noun). The article i should perhaps not be included when the following noun is already determined by being a proper name (*quanda Endor "the whole [of] Middle-earth") or a pronominal suffix (*quanda hroanya, "my whole body"), though we cannot be certain. (QL:70)

quanta (1) ("q") adj. "full" (KWAT, Narqelion, VT39:8, VT43:28), “filled, full” (PE17:68); the gloss “filled” would suggest that quanta can be regarded as a passive participle of quat- (q.v.) In these phrases: quanta sarmë "full writing", writing with separate letters for vowels (VT39:8); #quanta tengwë "full sign" (only pl. quantë tengwi is attested), in early Elvish analysis of Quenya the term for a consonant + a vowel (then analyzed as a kind of unitary phoneme rather than two phonemes); hence a stem like mata- "eat" was analyzed as two quantë tengwi, namely ma + ta. (VT39:5)
