ᴹQ. limpe n. “wine, drink of the Valar” (Category: Wine)
A noun glossed “(wine), drink of the Valar”, in The Etymologies of the 1930s derived from the root ᴹ√LIP (Ety/LIP).
Conceptual Development: ᴱQ. limpe appeared in Tolkien’s earlier writings of the 1910s and 20s as a derivative of the early root ᴱ√LIPI and variously glossed “drink of the fairies” (QL/54), “fairy-drink” (PME/54), and “elfwine” (PE16/141). In a list of names associated with The Lost Tales it had a longer form limpelis (PE15/7).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would use this word for ordinary “wine” only, since the “drink of the Valar” is commonly Q. miruvórë in Tolkien’s later writings.
