– osto means "city" or "fortress" in Tolkien's later
Quenya.
COUNT – the stem not- can be isolated
from the word for "countable", see below. It
actually occurs in Etym, but is glossed "reckon"
instead. COUNT UP onot- (cf. not- "reckon" –
the perfect of both these verbs would
presumably be *onótië), COUNTABLE #nótima

numberless", sg. únótima). NOT

except) –NOT, Nam, RGEO:67, VT39:14,

TOP, Nam/RGEO:67
COVERING telmë (hood) –TEL

form yaxi, simply glossed "cow", looks like a

confused with the pa.t. of the negative verb "not
be, not do"). –STAG/Silm:438, RIM, VT48:32

proper reading is ríë with a long vowel, not "rie"
as in the Etymologies as printed in LR), EL,
Silm:42
CRUEL nwalca (Though spelt this way
also in Etym, nwalca must be from older

nwalca.) –ÑGWAL

stem marill-), CRYSTAL SUBSTANCE silima (a
substance Fëanor alone knew how to make; the
Silmarils were made of it. Etymologically, the

thing", or perhaps *"[substance] apt to shine
white".) –VT46:13, RGEO:73, Silm:437
CUNNING – LT1:253 has findë, finië, but
these words may not be valid in Tolkien's later
Quenya (in Etym, findë means "tress, lock of
hair").
