ᴹQ. miule n. “whining, mewing” (Category: Cat)
A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “whining, mewing” derived from the root ᴹ√MIW “whine” (Ety/MIW).
Conceptual Development: A similar word ᴱQ. maule “crying, weeping” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√MAWA (QL/60), but that word seems to represent a lower sound, more like the bleating of sheep than the mewing of cats: compare G. maul “the lowing of cattle, bellowing” from the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon (GL/57).
