ᴺQ. !laimamatya adj. “herbivorous, vegetarian, (lit.) plant-eating” (Category: Vegetables)

ᴺQ. !laimamatya, adj. “herbivorous, vegetarian, (lit.) plant-eating” (Category: Vegetables)
See ᴱQ. lausimatwa for discussion.

Elements

Q. laima “plant”
Q. #-matya “-eating”

ᴱQ. lausimatwa adj. “vegetarian” (Category: Vegetables)

A word appearing as ᴱQ. lausimatwa “vegetarian” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱQ. laute (lausi-) “living thing, (esp.) vegetable” and the suffix ᴱQ. -matwa “*eating” (QL/52, 59).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would update this word to ᴺQ. laimamatya “herbivorous, vegetarian, (lit.) plant-eating”, a combination of the later elements Q. laima “plant” and Q. -matya “eating”.
