An untranslated word in the The Etymologies of the 1930s that combined ᴹQ. lúme “time” and ᴹQ. nyáre “tale” (Ety/NAR²), so probably meaning something like “*history”. In The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road Christopher Tolkien gave it as lumenyáre (LR/374), but Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne said that the actual form was lumennyáre in their Addenda and Corrigenda to the Etymologies, though they added that the double nn was probably a slip (VT45/36). Compare ᴹQ. lúmeqenta “history” (Ety/LU).
