Q. ferya- v. “to make ready (promptly)” (Category: Ready)
A verb in Definitive Linguistic Notes (DLN) of 1959 based on the root √PHERE, equivalent to S. feria- “make ready (promptly)” (PE17/181).
Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. manwa- “prepare” based on the early root ᴱ√M(B)ASA “cook, bake” and related to ᴱQ. manwa “ready” (QL/59). Given the root, these words might only refer to readying and preparing food.
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would use ferya- to mean both “make ready” and “*prepare”, but meaning “*prepare” in its most general sense rather than just preparing food.
