Q. ilyama pron. “all [things]” (Category: All, Every)

Q. ilyama, pron. “all [things], *everything” (Category: All, Every)

A word for “all” appearing in the phrase ai tó sí ilyama menta hwirya hondoringe fúmenen istarion “Alas for now all begins to wither in the breath of cold-hearted wizards” from the Löa Yucainen poem from 1958 (CPT/1298). It seems to be a combination of ilya “all” and ma “thing”, so more literally “all [things]”. As such, I think it could also be used for “*everything”.

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. on (om-) or ont “everything” under the early root ᴱ√OMO “all, every” (QL/70). Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 had ᴹQ. qáqa “everything, all facts” and ᴹQ. qaqe “every person/thing” (PE23/105); in that document the “neuter” pronouns applied only to abstract concepts and the “personal” pronouns applied to both persons and concrete things.
