ᴹQ. sambe [þ] n. “room, chamber” (Category: Room)
A word for “room, chamber” in The Etymologies from around 1937, derived from primitive ᴹ✶stambē and cognate to N. tham “hall” under the root ᴹ√STAB (Ety/STAB).
Conceptual Development: This word first appeared as ᴱQ. sambe “chamber, room” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√SAMA (QL/81), and appeared as ᴱQ. sambe “chamber” in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/72). Its Gnomish equivalent G. tham “chamber, room” indicate the root form was actually *ᴱ√ÞAMA (GL/72). It reappeared as sambe “room, chamber” in the English-Qenya Dictionary from the 1920s (PE15/76). Its primitive form was given as ᴹ✶sambē “room” in the Declension of Nouns from the early 1930s (PE21/17), but this became ᴹ✶stambē in The Etymologies as noted above.
The Sindarin word sammath “chambers” hint at another possible root change (LotR/942); see that entry for discussion.
