ᴺQ. !nolya- [ñ-] v. “to study; to learn” (Category: to Study)

⚠️ᴺQ. !nolya- [ñ-], v. “to study; to learn” [created by Robert Reynolds, Tamas Ferencz, Helge Fauskanger, PPQ] (Category: to Study): ᴹQ. #nolya- “to teach, *educate, tutor”

A neologism appearing in PPQ in the early 2000s, suggested by Tamas Ferencz and Helge Fauskanger, as a verb meaning “to learn”, derived from the root √ÑGOL¹ “knowledge, wisdom, lore”. This neologism was later outdated by the publication of par- “to learn” in PE17. Robert Reynolds suggested that this verb could instead by used with a slightly different meaning: “to study”, but that was outdated by the 2024 publication of Tolkien’s own use of the word: [ᴹQ.] nolya- “teach”.

ᴺQ. !cenya- v. “to study” (Category: to Study)

A neologism appearing in PPQ in the early 2000s, suggested by Eddin Najetovic, as a verb meaning “to study” derived from the root √KEN “see”, perhaps with the original sense “to examine”. Unfortunately, it conflicts with Tolkien’s own use of the word ᴹQ. kenya- “see”, first published in 2015.
