Q. minquë num. card. “eleven” (Category: Cardinal Number)
The Quenya word for “eleven” dating all the way back to the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (PE17/95; VT48/6-8; Ety/MINI; PE14/49, 82; QL/61). In Eldarinwe Leperi are Notessi (ELN) from 1968 Tolkien said it was a combination √MIN “first” and √KEWE “new, fresh”, so originally meaning “the start (first) of a new decade, another min” (VT48/7).
