Eldamo : Early Quenya : qíva

ᴱQ. qíva adj. “awake” (Category: to Wake)

⚠️ᴱQ. quíva, adj. “awake” (Category: to Wake): ᴺQ. !cuiva “awake”

An adjective appearing as ᴱQ. Qîva “awake” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√QIV; Tolkien noted it was sometimes confused with ᴱQ. koiva “lively, living” (GL/29).

Neo-Quenya: I would adapt this word as ᴺQ. cuiva “awake” using the later root √KUY.
