Quenya numbers |
---|
|
yunque is the number twelve (12) in Quenya.[1][2]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
It is a composite from yú + ence "double six". PQ form given also as yu-(e)neke > yunuk(w)[3][4] > yunke.
Note that both ence and yunce were later changed to enque and yunque due to the influence of minquë. After that, yunque is perceived as yú + enque
Cognates[edit | edit source]
Other versions[edit | edit source]
An earlier word for "twelve" was rasta[5] seen in the word yúrasta "24; double-12".
It was also supported by the stem RÁSAT.[6]
