Q. *canquë num. card. “*fourteen” (Category: Teen Cardinal Number)
One of a set of Quenya “teen” numbers appearing in rough notes on numbers from the late 1960s as kanakwe and likely meaning “fourteen” (VT48/21). I am of the opinion that this is a primitive form, and the modern Quenya form would be *canquë, though *canaquë is certainly possible. There was also a variant form quaican.
Conceptual Development: The Early Qenya Grammar of the 1910s had ᴱQ. kankea “fourteen” based on the earlier adjectival word ᴱQ. kea “ten” (PE14/49, 82).
