Q. surya- [þ] v. (ya-formative) “to blow (intr.)” (Category: to Blow)
A verb in notes from around 1957 glossed “blow, intr.”, derived from primitive ✶thusya- based on the root √THU(S) “blow, cause an air movement” (NM/239). It had a half-strong past tense surinyë.
Conceptual Development: Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s had a similar verb ᴱQ. sur- “blow” (PE16/134), also appearing in its masculine form surdon in the untranslated phrase ᴱQ. surussin surdon lausto in very early drafts of the ᴱQ. Oilima Markirya poem from this period (PE16/57).
