S. enaid adj. “central, middle” (Category: Middle)

An adjective appearing as S. enaid in notes from the late 1960s, equivalent to Q. entya “central, middle” and derived from primitive ✶enetya based on the root √HENET (VT41/16).

Neo-Sindarin: Since the usual root for “middle” was √ENED, I’d revise this word to ᴺS. enaidh “central, middle”. Compare to ᴹQ. enya < ✶en[e]dya from The Etymologies (Ety/ÉNED).
