Quettaparma Quenyallo

carrëa (for cas-raya) noun "tressure" (net for confining the hair). (VT42:12)

#carva noun "womb" (isolated from carvalyo "of thy womb") (VT43:31; Tolkien seems to have abandoned this form in favour of #móna, q.v.)

cas (“k”) “head” (VT49:17), cf. also deleted [cas] ("k") noun "top, summit" (VT45:19). This noun should evidently have the stem-form car-. See cár.

Casar ("k") noun "Dwarf", pl. Casari or Casári, partitive plural Casalli. Adapted from Dwarvish Khazâd. Casarrondo place-name "Khazad-dûm", Moria (WJ:388, 389; pl. Casári also in WJ:402)

cassa ("k") noun "helmet" (KAS; though spelt cassa also in the Etymologies as printed in LR, VT45:19 indicates that Tolkien's own spelling was kassa). Cf. carma in a later source.

[cast] ("k"), fraction "one tenth", but the form is apparently obsolete; see caista. (VT48:11)

casta (1) ("k") fraction "one fourth" (1/4). Also canasta, cansat (VT48:11)

casta (2) noun "cause" (reason) (QL:43)

Castamir masc. name, "casta[?]-jewel" (Appendix A)

castol noun “helmet”, synonyms tholon (q.v.), sól (q.v), also variant castolo (“k”) (PE17:186, 188)

cata, see ca

cauca ("k") adj. "crooked" (LT1:257; cf. #caw-)

cauco ("k") noun "humpback" (LT1:257)

cauma (”k”) noun ”protection or shelter natural or otherwise, sc. against sun, or rain, or wind – or against darts; shield” (PE17:108)

caurë ("k") noun "fear" (LT1:257)

caurëa ("k") adj. "timid" (LT1:257)

cautáron ("k") adj.? "bent" (MC:216; this is "Qenya")

*cav-, see #caw-

#caw- vb. "bow" ("k") (1st pers aorist cawin "I bow") (LT1:257; cf. cauca, cauco). In Tolkien's later Quenya, a verbal stem with w in this position does not seem to fit the general phonology well; intervocalic w would become v. We should perhaps read *cav- whereever the second consonant of the root follows a vowel, but the nasal-infixed past tense could be *canwë with the original quality of the consonant preserved. (Compare such a past tense form as anwë, q.v.) However, Tolkien’s later verb luhta- may be preferred for intransitive “bow”.

[-cca (“k”) ?“your”, apparently an abandoned 2nd person plural or dual possessive (VT49:49). Compare -lca.]

cé ("k"), also ce (“k”) “may be” (VT49:19, 27), particle indicating uncertainty (VT42:34; ce in Bill Welden's note is a misspelling, VT44:38, but the short form ce does occur in other texts, cf. VT49:18-19). In VT42, Welden wrote that Tolkien altered ké to kwí (or kwíta, q.v.), but Welden later noted that "it does not follow that because the form was changed in another sentence it would necessarily have been corrected in the examples cited" (VT44:38). So cé/ké may still be a conceptually valid form. (The forms in kw- rather than qu- seem abnormal for Quenya, at least as far as spelling is concerned.) In another conceptual phase, cé was also used = “if” (VT49:19), but this conjunction appears as qui elsewhere. Examples of cé, ce meaning “if” (said to be “usually [used] with aorist”) include cé mo quetë ulca (“k”, “q”) *”if one speaks evil”, cé tulis, nauvan tanomë (“k”) *”if (s)he comes, I will be there” (VT49:19), cé mo… *“if one…”, ce formenna *“if northwards” (VT49:26)

[cëa, cëan ("k") cardinal "ten", forms Tolkien later abandoned in favour of quain or quëan. An adjectival form caina ("k") was also listed, but must likewise be considered obsolete. (VT48:12-13, VT49:54)]
