ᴺQ. !apárilë n. “afternoon” (Category: Noon)

ᴺQ. !apárilë, n. “afternoon” [created by Raccoon] (Category: Noon)

A neologism coined by Raccoon posted on 2024-05-12 in the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), a combination of apa “after”, árë (ári-) “*noontide”, and an abstract noun suffix , inspired by the similarly formed G. obauthri “afternoon”. In Tolkien’s writings, árë was only glossed “sunlight, warmth”, but Raccoon posited that it might also mean “*noontide” based on G. auth “sunshine, warmth; noontide”.

Elements

Q. apa¹ “after (of time)”
Q. árë “sunlight, warmth (especially of the sun); day”
Q. -lë “abstract noun, adverb”
