Q. loico n. “corpse, dead body” (Category: Corpse, Body)

Q. loico, n. “corpse, dead body” (Category: Corpse, Body)

A word for “corpse, dead body” in the 1960s version of the Markirya poem (MC/223). It may be related to noirë “tomb” via an unattested root (N)DOY as suggested by David Salo in a post on the Elfling mailing list in 2012.

Conceptual Development: In the version of the poem from around 1930, Tolkien used the word ᴱQ. kaivo “corpse” (MC/214, 221), probably based on the early root ᴱ√KAYA “lie, rest; dwell” (QL/46).
