A pronoun appearing as {waratwe >> atware >>} etwe for “the other (of two)” in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/107 and note #85). It had an adjective form ᴹQ. {atwara >>} etwa also meaning “other (of two)”, but sometimes used to mean “second” [presumably of two items]. The adjective etwa could also be used as a conjunction meaning “or else”, as in *nai cenuva Gandalf etwe Galadriel “may we see Gandalf or else Galadriel”.

Conceptual Development: The Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s had masculine and feminine pronouns ᴱQ. etyo and [ety]e “other”, also glossed “alter” which means “other (of two)” in Latin (PE14/55 and PE14/56 note #97). It had an adjective form ᴱQ. etya (PE14/48, 55), which could also be used to refer to the second of two items as opposed to more ordinary ᴱQ. potsina “second” (PE14/51, 82).
