nén (nen-) noun "water" (NEN).

néna adj. "wet" (PE17:167). Cf. nenya, mixa.

Nénar noun name of a star (or planet), evidently derived from nén "water" (Silm), tentatively identified with Uranus (MR:435)

nendë (1) noun "pool" (NEN), “lake” (PE17:52)

nénu noun "yellow water-lily" (LT1:248)

nénuvar noun "pool of lilles" (LT1:248)

nenya adj. “wet” (PE17:52), also néna, q.v. Nenya as the name of a Ring of Power seems to imply *“(thing) related to water”, since this Ring was associated with that element (SA:nen).

nér (1) (ner-, as in pl. neri) noun "man" (adult male – elf, mortal, or of other speaking race) (MR:213, VT49:17, DER, NDER, NI¹, VT45:9; see also WJ:393)

nerca adj. “sharp, angular” (PE17:55), variant nexa (reading uncertain).

nercë ("k") noun "little man", a diminutive of nér (VT47:33). VT48:18 seems to hint that -cë is to be derived from older -ki; if so, nercë should have the stem-form nerci-. Compare wenci.

nerdo noun "large, strong man" (compare nér) (VT47:33)

neresta fraction "one ninth" (1/9), also nesta, nersat. (VT48:11)

nesë (apparently with stem nesi-) (Þ) noun “[person of] female [nature]” (PE17:190)

nésa (Þ) noun "sister" (VT47:14); this form from a late source possibly replaces earlier seler and onórë, q.v.

nésë (Þ) noun "youth", also nessë (NETH). Not to be confused with nésë “he was”; see ná #1.

nessa adj. "young" (NETH), also Nessa as name of a Valië, the spouse of Tulkas (adopted and adapted from Valarin, or an archaic Elvish formation: WJ:404 vs. 416). Also called Indis, "bride" (NETH, NI¹). The fem. name Nessanië (UT:210) would seem to incorporate Nessa's name; the second element could mean "tear" (nië), but since Nessa is not normally associated with sorrow, this #nië is perhaps rather a variant of ní "female" (compare Tintanië as a variant of Tintallë).

nessamelda adj. "Nessa-beloved", name of a tree (UT:167)

Nessaron noun *"[Day] of the younger [gods]", sc. Ossë, Oromë and Tulkas (in Tolkien's earlier conception, Ossë was a "god" or Vala). (LEP/LEPEN/LEPEK)

neterquë cardinal "nineteen" (VT48:21)

netil noun "trinket, [?small thing] of personal adornment" (Tolkien's gloss was not certainly legible) (VT47:33)

nettë (stem *netti-, given the primitive form listed in VT47:17) noun "girl, daughter" (but also "sister", see below), also used as a play-name of the "fourth finger" or "fourth toe" (VT47:10, VT48:6), in two-hand play also used for the numeral "nine" (nettë is conceived as being related to nertë, q.v.) Nettë is also defined as "sister" or "girl approaching the adult" (VT47:16, VT49:25), "girl/daughter" (VT47:15-16); it may be that "sister" was Tolkien's final decision on the meaning (VT48:4, 22) - The related word nésa seems like a less ambiguous translation of "sister".

netya- 1) vb. "to trim, adorn" (VT47:33)

netya 2) adj. "pretty, dainty" (VT47:33)
