carda noun “deed” (PE17:51). Cf. car #3. The word may contain the ending -da (q.v.) denoting the result of the corresponding verbal action.

carma (1) noun “tool, weapon” (PE17:114)

carma (2) noun "helm" (helmet) in Carma-cundo ("k") "Helm-guardian" (PM:260). Notice that in PE17:114, Tolkien indicated that he rather wanted carma to mean “tool” or “weapon”, leaving the status of carma “helmet” uncertain. Possibly shortened to -car in the names Eldacar (Elfhelm?), Hallacar (Tall-helm?) Cf. also cassa in Etym.

Carmë ("k") noun "art" (UT:459); used = “structure” in sundocarmë (“k”) “Base-structure”, q.v. under sundo.

carna passive participle *"built, made" in Vincarna "newly-made" (MR:408), also struck-out alacarna “well-done, well-made” (PE17:172). Carna would seem to be the passive participle of car-, though a longer form carina (read *cárina?) is also attested (VT43:15).

carnë adj. "red", “scarlet, red” (SA:caran, PE17:154, MC:214, KARÁN - spelt with a k in the two latter sources), not to be confused with the past tense of car- "do, make". Stem carni- as in Carnimírië, Carnistir.

carneambarai ("k") "red-???" (Narqelion; very early "Qenya")

carnevaitë ("k") noun "red sky" (MC:221; this is "Qenya")

carnevalinar ("k") "red-???" (Narqelion; very early "Qenya")

Carnil ("k") name of a star (or planet), identified with Mars (MR:435)

†carni-mírëa adj. “red-jewelled” (PE17:83), whence the name Carnimírië "[one] having red gems, Red-jewelled", the rowan-tree in Quickbeam's song (LotR2:III ch. 4, SA:caran, PE17:83), also translated "with adornment of red jewels" (Letters:224; where the reading "carnemírie" occurs)

Carnistir masc. name "red-face", mother-name (never used in narrative) of Morifinwë = Caranthir (PM:353)

[cáro] ("k") noun "doer, actor, agent" (KAR; replaced by tyaro). In the Etymologies as printed in LR, the accent of the word cáro was omitted (VT45:19).

carpa (“k”) (1) noun “mouth”, including lips, teeth, tongue etc. (PE17:126); also used for “language”, in particular the phonetic system. Cf. náva and páva.

carpa- (“k”) (2) intransitive vb. “talk, speak, use tongue” (pa.t. carampë given). (PE17:126)

carpassë (“k”) noun ”mouth-system”, i.e. ”full organized language, including system, vocabulary, metre etc.” (PE17:126); probably replaced by pahta (2), q.v.
