Eldamo : Early Primitive Elvish : ’O’O

ᴱ√’O’O root. “*sea”

⚠️ᴱ√’O’O root. “*sea”: √GAY(AR) “awe, dread; astound, make aghast; sea”

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives having to do with the sea such as ᴱQ. oar “merchild” and ᴱQ. Ô “The Sea, Ocean” (QL/70). G. ô “the sea” from the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon is probably related, but its Qenya cognate was given as ᴱQ. ua and its primitive form as ᴱ✶ou̯a (GL/61). In later writings Tolkien used different roots for the “sea”, such as √AY(AR) or √GAY(AR).
