Q. en- pref. “re-, again” (Category: Again)

Q. en-, pref. “re-, again” (Category: Again)

The usual Quenya prefix for “re-, again” (PE17/68; UT/317), used in words like enquanta- “refill” (LotR/377) and entul- “return” (S/195). It is derived from the root √EN.

Conceptual Development: The word ᴱQ. antulu- “return” from the 1910s indicates that ᴱQ. an- is a possible precursor to en-.
