From primitive ''mori'', the ''i'' remains so in compounds: <s>''morequendi''</s> is wrong because *''morikwendî'' > ''moriquendi''.{{or}}

more is a Quenya word meaning "dark(ness)".[1]

more also perhaps has the same meaning in Telerin[2].

It is seen as mori- in compounds (see etymology below).

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Primitive Quendian mori (the short final -i becoming -e in Common Eldarin stage)[3][2] Root MOR.[1]
