ᴹQ. kaimasan (kaimasamb-) [þ] n. “bedchamber” (Category: Room)

ᴹQ. caimasan (caimasamb-) [þ], n. “bedchamber” (Category: Room)

A word for “bedchamber” in The Etymologies from around 1937, a combination of ᴹQ. kaima “bed” and ᴹQ. sambe “chamber” (Ety/KAY, STAB). Its plural kaimasambi indicates a stem form of kaimasamb-.

Conceptual Development: This word first appeared as ᴱQ. {kaitosambe >>} kaimasambe “bed-room” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/46). It reappeared as kaimasan (kaimasamb-) “bed-chamber” in the Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s (PE14/42, 71) and appeared as kaimasan with plural kaimasambi in the English-Qenya Dictionary of this same period (PE15/70). It appeared again as kaimasan (kaimasamb-) in the Declension of Nouns of the early 1930s (PE21/17, 37). At each earlier stage it had essentially the same derivation as in The Etymologies, so the word was fairly well established.
