A. The principal linguistic elements concerned.
1. *KWENE.
(a) PQ *kwene 'person' (m. or f.). CE *kwen (-kwen), pl.
*kweni, person (m. or f.), one, (some)body-, pl. per-
sons', '(some) people'.
(b) PQ and CE *kwende, pl. *kwendf. This form was made
from *kwene by primitive fortification of the median n )

sense 'people, the people as a whole', sc. embracing all the
three original clans.

a whole'.

2. *ELE According to Elvish legend this was a primitive
exclamation, 'lo! ' 'behold! ' made by the Elves when they
first saw the stars. Hence:

(a) CE *el, *ele, *el-a, 'lo!' 'look!' 'see!'
(b) CE *el, pl. *eli, eli, 'star'.
(c) CE *elen, pl. 'elena, 'star', with 'extended base'.
(d) CE *elda, an adjectival formation 'connected or con-
cerned with the stars', used as a description of the *kwendi.
According to legend this name, and the next, were due to
the Vala Orome. They were thus probably at first only used
in the plural, meaning 'star-folk'.

stem *elen, of the same meaning and use as *elda.

the element *awa 'away' (see below). A name made in
