#u- vb. "not do, not be" (1st pers. aorist uin "I do not, am not"), pa.t. úmë (UGU/UMU). A late (ca. 1968) source gives the forms uin, uin(yë) “I am not”, uil(yë) *”you are not”, uis “it is not”, uilmë *”we are not”, uir “are not” and endingless ui *”is not” (VT49:29, 36); these forms were however struck out. The example uin carë “I don’t” (PE17:68) combines this negative verb with a following verb in the “simplest aorist infinitive”. Compare ua in another late source. See also ui, which (despite its use as an interjection “no”) seems to be the endingless 3rd person aorist.

ú (1) adv. and prep. "without, destitute of" (VT39:14). Usually followed by genitive: ú calo "without light" (cala). – In one source, ú is seemingly also used as a negative verb “was not” (VT49:13), but Tolkien revised the text in question.

ú- (2) prefix "not-, un-, in-", denying presence or possession of thing or quality (VT39:14, UGU/UMU/VT46:20, GŪ, LT1:272), or simply suggesting something bad or immoral (see #úcar-, Úmaiar). Tolkien at one point considered redefining ú- as an element signifying "bad, uneasy, hard"; the already-published form únótima would then mean "difficult/impossible to count" rather than simply "uncountable" (VT42:33). However, Tolkien's very last word on the matter seems to be that ú- was to remain a mere negative (VT44:4). Compare úa, q.v. According to the Etymologies, the prefix ú- usually has a "bad sense", whereas according to early material u- (uv-, um-, un-) is a "mere negation" (UGU/UMU vs. VT42:32) According to a later source, ú- could be used as an uninflected verbal prefix, mainly in verse, but in a normal style the prefix was “verbalized” as ua-, q.v. (PE17:144). The stem Ū, as a negation, was accompanied by “pursed lips and shaking of the head” (PE17:145).
