Q. vangwë n. “storm; blow” (Category: Storm)

Q. vangwë, n. “storm, *gale; ⚠️blow” (Category: Storm)

A word for “storm” in notes from around 1957, derived from primitive ✶wagmē based on the root √ as the “echoic” representation of the sound of wind (NM/237). In Quenya Notes (QN) from around the same time, Tolkien had vangwe (of the same basic derivation) with the gloss “blow” (PE17/34).

Conceptual Development: A likely precursor is ᴱQ. ’wanwa “great gale” the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a derivative of the early root ᴱ√GWĀ (QL/102).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I think the sense “storm” is more useful than “blow”.
