Q. quanta adj. “full, filled” (Category: Full)
A very well attested adjective for “full, filled” derived from the root √KWAT “fill” (PE17/68; PE23/101; Ety/KWAT).
Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s ᴱQ. qanta “full” derived from the early root ᴱ√QṆTṆ (QL/78). The contemporaneous Qenya Phonology had a variant ᴱQ. cunta “full” with a different vocalization of ṇ; in that document qanta was glossed “whole, all” (PE12/11). In QL, there was a similar form i qanda that meant “all the, the whole” in combination with the definite article (QL/70). The word qanta was glossed “all” Qenya word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/142), and prefixal qa(qe)- meant “all, every” in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/101). In Tolkien’s later writings usually √IL meant “all”.
