Eldamo : Early Quenya : ninda¹

ᴱQ. ninda¹ n. “water, river” (Category: Water)

⚠️ᴱQ. ninda¹, n. “water, river” (Category: Water): Q. nén “water, ⚠️[ᴱQ.] river”

A word in the Early Noldorin Dictionary from the 1920s given as a cognate of ᴱN. nenn “water, river” (PE13/164). The reason why the vowel was i rather than e isn’t clear; compare to earlier ᴱQ. nen(d-) “river, water” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/65-66) and the root √NEN “water” from the 1930s and later.
