Q. férima adj. “ready to hand, (quickly) available” (Category: Ready)
An adjective in Definitive Linguistic Notes (DLN) of 1959 based on the root √PHERE, equivalent to S. ferui “ready to hand, (quickly) available” (PE17/181).
Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. manwa “ready” derived from primitive maznwa based on the early root ᴱ√M(B)ASA “cook, bake”, along with a related verb ᴱQ. manwa- “prepare” (QL/59). Given the root, these words might only refer to readying and preparing food.
