ᴹQ. vorongandele n. “continual repetition, (lit.) harping on one tune” (Category: to Last)
A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “continual repetition”, more literally “harping on one tune”, a combination of ᴹQ. voro “ever” and ᴹQ. nandele “harping” (Ety/BOR; EtyAC/BOR). In The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road the form given was vorogandele with a g (LR/353), but Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne corrected this to vorongandele with an ng in their Addenda and Corrigenda to the Etymologies (VT45/7).
Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. vorokantele “monotonous repetition” or “harping, vain repetition”, where the second element was ᴱQ. kantele “harping” (QL/45, 102).
