ᴱQ. anúre n. “manliness, masculinity” (Category: Male)
A noun appearing as ᴱQ. anūre “manliness, masculinity” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an elaboration of ᴱQ. anu “a male” (QL/31). In the entry, this word was predeceded by the definite article i and Tolkien gave it the alternate gloss “concr. men in general”; by this I assume Tolkien mean anúre by itself meant “masculinity”, but with the definite article i anúre meant “men in general”.
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would modify this word to ᴺQ. hanúrë, basing it instead on later ᴹQ. hanu “male” (Ety/ƷAN).
