Quettaparma Quenyallo

nasta- (2) vb. "prick, sting" (NAS)

nat noun "thing" (NĀ²); compare únat. VT49:30 lists “năta, nat”, but it is unclear whether năta is here a Quenya word or an etymological form underlying Quenya nat.

náto interjection “it is that” (emphatic word for “yes”?) (VT49:28, 29)

natsë noun "web, net" (NAT)

nattira- vb. "despise" (or perhaps the stem proper should only be #nattir-) (VT44:8)

[nattirë vb. “look back” (PE17:166)]

natyam-, natyamna, see naham-

natyámë, see nahámë

natyë vb. “you are”, “thou art”; see ná #1

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 Tolkien’s early "Qenya" (LT1:261), but the distinct noun-form Nauco may be more usual.

Nauco ("k") noun "Dwarf" (capitalized in WJ:388, but not in Etym, stem NAUK). Naucalië (not *Naucolië) the "Dwarf-people" as a whole. Nauco is a personalized form of the adjective nauca “stunted” (itself sometimes used as a noun “dwarf”); pl. naucor (PE17:45). See also Picinaucor.
