Q. Morikotto m. “*Dark Enemy”
The Quenya equivalent of S. Morgoth (VT49/24). It is a compound of morë (mori-) “dark” and cotto “enemy”. It is unlikely this name was much used, and is interesting primarily in shining a light on the etymology of Morgoth.
Conceptual Development: @@@ finish after completing phonology.
