Q. turyandë n. “fortification” (Category: Strong, Mighty, Powerful)

Q. turyandë, n. “fortification, [ᴹQ.] strengthening” (Category: Strong, Mighty, Powerful)

A noun for “fortification, strengthening” in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from 1948, a combination of turya- “strengthen” and the general action verbal suffix -nde (PE22/110). This word also appeared with the gloss “fortification” in both the first and second versions of the Tengwesta Qenderinwa from the 1930s (TQ1: PE18/45) and around 1950 (TQ2: PE18/95) respectively. In TQ1 and TQ2 it referred to the strengthening of sound (more specifically a-fortification), so I think this noun can refer to both physical and metaphorical strengthening.
