N. cennan n. “potter” (Category: Potter)
A word for “potter” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√TAN “make, fashion” as the equivalent of ᴹQ. kentano (Ety/TAN). The root ᴹ√KEM “soil, earth” had N. {cefnor >>} cevnor “potter”, the equivalent of ᴹQ. kemnaro, but N. cevnor was deleted even though ᴹQ. kemnaro was retained (EtyAC/KEM). There was a line drawn from kemnaro to forms ᴹQ. kentano and N. cennan in the margin, but both these marginal forms were deleted (EtyAC/KEM).
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would use the form cennan “potter”, since it is the only undeleted form.
