quár, or quáre, is a Quenya word meaning "fist", as in a hand clenched around a tool or implement.[1][2][3]
In his Appendix to The Silmarillion, Christopher Tolkien notes the form quárë ("'fist', often used to mean 'hand'").[4]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
In a late manuscript, the form quár is a descendant form of Primitive Quendian kwāră, deriving from root KWAR.[1][2]
In an earlier manuscript, the form quáre is a descendant form of Primitive Quendian kwārē, deriving from root KWAR.[3]
Examples[edit | edit source]
Cognates[edit | edit source]
Other versions[edit | edit source]
Tolkien seems to have rejected the form quáre, which was emended to quár.[2]
In the Etymologies appears the forms qár ("hand"; ?pl. qari), and qáre ("fist"), deriving from root KWAR ("clutching hand, fist").[5]
