Q. Eärenya n. “Sea-day, *Thursday” (Category: Thursday)
An extra day in the Númenórean seven-day week, an adjective based on ëaren “sea”, hence “Sea-day” (LotR/1110; PM/130). By aligning the Númenórean seven-day week with the modern English week, this is the equivalent of “*Thursday”.
Conceptual Development: Notes from the 1910s had a variety of earlier words for “Thursday” taken from seven-day and 14-day reckonings: ᴱQ. Falassien, ᴱQ. Tulkassan, ᴱQ. Poldosan, and ᴱQ. Nessaran; see those entries for discussion.
