Quettaparma Quenyallo

ne-súmë ??? (Narqelion)

nëa (1) “once, at one time” (in the past) (VT49:31). Also néya.

nëa (2) an optative form of the verb na- "to be"? (nëa = LotR-style Quenya nai?): ya rato nëa *"which soon may (it) be" = *"which I hope will be soon" (Arct)

nec- prefix “without, -less” (PE17:167), cf. -enca, q.v.

néca ("k") adj "pale, vague, faint, dim to see", pl. nécë ("k") in Markirya

neccë (“k”) noun “angle” (PE17:45). Variant of nehtë #1, q.v.

necel (“k”) noun “thorn” (PE17:55)

nectë noun "honey" (LT1:262; Tolkien's later Quenya has lis; otherwise, nectë would have had to become nehtë, a form appearing in the Etymologies with the meaning "honeycomb" [VT45:38]. However, this word clashes with nehtë “angle” or "spearhead, gore, wedge, narrow promontory" from later sources [PE17:55, UT:282].)

nehta (1) noun "spearhead", isolated from nernehta, q.v.

#nehta- (2) vb. "to slay" if such a stem can be isolated from #nehtar (see below). The (variant?) form nahta- is given in VT49:24.

nehta- (3) vb. “deprive” (PE17:167)

nehtanō noun “one deprived, excile whose rights and goods have been confiscated“ (PE17:167). The long final vowel would be a feature of very archaic Quenya; the later form must be *nehtano.

#nehtar noun "slayer", isolated from Morinehtar "Darkness-slayer" (PM:384, 385). It may be that a verbal stem #nehta- "to slay, kill" can also be isolated from this noun, though the attested form is actually nahta- (a possible example of A/E variation).

nehtë (1) noun “angle” (PE17:55), any formation or projection tapering to a point: a spearhead, gore, wedge, narrow promontory (UT:282). Variant neccë.
