ᴱQ. aipio n. “cherry” (Category: Berry)
A word appearing as ᴱQ. aipio “cherry, holy berry” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱ√AYA¹ “revere” and ᴱQ. pio “berry” (QL/34, 74). It was also mentioned in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa and Gnomish Lexicon (PME/34; GL/18).
Neo-Quenya: Since √AYA(N) “blessed” continues to appear in Tolkien’s later writings, I’d retain ᴺQ. aipio “cherry” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
