Q. carma² n. “tool, implement, means, weapon” (Category: Tool)
A noun meaning either a “tool, weapon” or “tool, implement, means”, an instrumental formation of car- “doing”, hence originally simply a “*thing for doing/making” (PE17/114; PE22/152).
Neo-Quenya: This word is similar in meaning to tamma “tool” based on √TAM “construct”, but for purposes of Neo-Quenya I would assume carma is a more general term for a mechanism to get something done, so including non-physical things like “means”, as opposed to tamma “tool” which is more specifically a (physical) instrument for constructing something.
