Eldamo : Middle Quenya : orme

ᴹQ. orme n. “haste, violence, wrath, rushing” (Category: to Hurry, Hasten)

ᴹQ. ormë, n. “haste, violence, wrath, rushing” (Category: to Hurry, Hasten): ᴱQ. fandelúvië “monstrosity, immoderation, violence, barbarity, grossness”; ᴱQ. ormë¹ “summit, crest, hilltop”

A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “haste, violence, wrath” derived from the root ᴹ√GOR “violence, impetus, haste” (Ety/GOR). In the entry for the root ᴹ√KHOR, Tolkien said orme was confused with ᴹQ. horme “urgency” and thus had the sense “rushing” (Ety/KHOR).

Conceptual Development: In Early Noldorin word-lists of the 1920s, Tolkien had ᴱQ. orosta as the cognate of ᴱN. oroth “impetus, speed, haste, rash courage”, both derived from primitive ᴱ✶orotse (PE13/151).
