ᴱQ. varya adj. “different” (Category: Different, Other)
A word appearing as ᴱQ. varya “different” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, related to ᴱQ. vāra “other” under the early root ᴱ√VARA (QL/100).
Neo-Quenya: The later word for “other” is hyana, so I would update the early adjective varya to ᴺQ. hyanya “different” and would use it for “strange, unusual” as well. Tamas Ferencz instead suggested ᴺQ. aia “strange, unusual” based on [ᴹQ.] aiano “stranger” as published in PE22, but PE23 revealed that the base aia- meant “other”, and I believe this element was replaced by hya in Tolkien’s later writings.
