Q. vinya adj. “young, new” (Category: Young)
A word for “young” appearing in Definitive Linguistic Notes (DLN) from 1959 derived from the root √WIN of the same meaning (PE17/191).In The Etymologies of the 1930s, ᴹQ. vinya was glossed “young” and was derived from the root ᴹ√WINI (EtyAC/WIR). It replaced {winya} “new, fresh, young” under the deleted root ᴹ√GWIN (EtyAC/GWIN). Vinya appeared as an element in various names and was sometimes translated “new” instead of “young”, such as Vinyamar “New Dwelling” and Vinyalondë “New Haven”.
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would assume the main sense of this word is “young”, but it can also be used for “new” in the sense “of little age”. For “new” in the sense “of the current time”, I would instead use [ᴹQ.] sinya.
