Q. lacarina adj. “undone” (Category: to Do, Make)

Q. lacarina, adj. “undone, *unfinished, incomplete” (Category: to Do, Make)

A negation of carina “done” in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from around 1969, glossed “undone” (PE22/156). For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would use this mainly in the sense “*unfinished, incomplete” rather than for an undoing/reversal of a work.

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. ilkarna “unfinished”, a combination of the early negative prefix ᴱQ. il- with ᴱQ. karina “finished” (QL/41).
