Q. soica adj. “thirsty” (Category: Thirsty)

Q. soica, adj. “thirsty” (Category: Thirsty)
ᴱQ. loyo- “be thirsty (impers.)”

An adjective for “thirsty” in notes from around 1960 derived from the root √SOK “drink” via i-infixion (VT39/11), which produced a small class of desiderative words in Quenya, as in “desiring to drink”. See the entry ᴹQ. fauka for earlier and alternate words for “thirsty”.

ᴹQ. fauka adj. “thirsty, parched, (lit.) open-mouthed” (Category: Thirsty)

An adjective in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “open-mouthed, thirsty, parched” under the root ᴹ√PHAU̯ “gape” (Ety/PHAU).

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. {loise >>} loire (loiri-) “thirsty” under the early root ᴱ√LOYO, along with an alternate form ᴱQ. loimea as the adjective form of ᴱQ. loime “thirst” (QL/56).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain fauca “thirsty, parched, (lit.) open-mouthed” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but use it only for extreme thirst and dry conditions (parched), as opposed to Q. soica for more ordinary levels of “thirsty”.
