ᴺQ. !tolquain num. card. “eighty” (Category: Large Cardinal Number)

Q. quëan “ten”

ᴱQ. tol(to)kainen num. card. “eighty” (Category: Large Cardinal Number)

The Early Qenya Grammar (EQG) of the 1920s had ᴱQ. tol(to)kainen “eighty” as a combination of ᴱQ. tolto “eight” and ᴱQ. kainen “ten” (PE14/49, 83).

Neo-Quenya: Late in Tolkien’s life, Tolkien changed the Quenya word for “ten” to quëan or quain, which has been the basis for various neologisms for “eighty”: ᴺQ. toloquëan, toloquain, or ᴺQ. tolquain. I prefer to use ᴺQ. tolquain for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
