Q. úvana adj. “marred” (Category: to Harm, Injure, Damage)
An adjective for “marred” in notes from the late 1950s, a negated form of vana “beautiful, unmarred, of fair unspoiled form” (PE17/150).
Conceptual Development: In a (rejected) draft of this note úvana was gloss “monstrous”, as with úvanimo “monster” (PE17/149). In notes from 1936 ᴹQ. uvana was meant “wicked” in the sentence ᴹQ. nakuvan tye uvana néra “I will slay thee, wicked man”, but this version of the sentence was struck through (PE21/65 note #13).
