Q. anya- v. “to reach, arrive at, go to” (Category: to Reach, Arrive)

Q. anya-, v. “to reach, arrive at, go to; *to manage, suceed (at something) + infinitive” (Category: to Reach, Arrive)

A verb for “reach, arrive at, go to” in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969, derived from the root √ANA “to(wards)” (PE22/157, 163).

Conceptual Development: Earlier words for “arrive” include tenya- “arrive, end (not at speaker’s[?] place)” in notes from the late 1950s or early 1960s (VT49/24; VTE/49). This verb reappeared in notes from 1968 as tene “arrive, come to, get to” from a root √TEN, but in that note the ten- forms were rejected and changed to men-. Elsewhere men- was used in the more general sense “go” or “come” (PE17/13, 16; PE22/162), whereas in the 1969 Ambidexters Sentence, the verb tenta- was used to mean “point at” (VT49/6-8).

Neo-Quenya: Of the various options, I think anya- is the best Neo-Quenya verb for “arrive” and I further assume it is a half-strong verb with past tense ananye “arrived”. In a post on 2024-01-31 in the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), Luinyelle suggested it might be used in the idiomatic sense “manage, succeed (in something)” when combined with the infinitive of another verb: ananyen pare Quenya “I managed to learn Quenya” = “(lit.) I arrived at learning Quenya”
