Q. céva adj. “fresh, new, renewed” (Category: New)
A word appearing in notes from the late 1960s mostly as kéva but in one place with a variant keu, variously glossed “fresh, new, renewed” and derived from the root √KEW (VT48/7-8).
Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. loite “fresh” under the early root ᴱ√LAW̯A having to do with life (QL/052). The Etymologies of the 1930s had ᴹQ. virya “fresh” derived from the root ᴹ√WIR “new, fresh, young” (EtyAC/WIR).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would only use céva for “fresh, new” and would instead use ceura for “renewed”. I would also retain [ᴹQ.] virya “fresh” on the basis of Q. Víressë “April” from The Lord of the Rings appendices (LotR/1110), probably meaning “*Freshness”.
