UK is a Primitive Quendian root signifying "nasty".[1] Patrick H. Wynne notes that the root is "apparently an onomatopoeic stem" and that it is "probably related to the root UG 'dislike' (whence Q. úra 'nasty')".[2]
In Eldarin Roots and Stems appear the roots "? UK, UKLA" (without any given significations, except for being one of the opposites of AYA).[3] It has been suggested that "the queried stem uk in this note is perhaps the same as later UK 'nasty'".[4][note 1]

Notes
- ↑ Note that the two different transcriptions have been rendered from the reading of the same manuscript: "? uk: ukla" in Vinyar Tengwar 49 and "? UK, UKLA" in Parma Eldalamberon XVII. Perhaps the latter was editorially changed to the standardized form given to roots.
