Quenya[edit | edit source]

aikasse is a Quenya word meaning "mountain peak".[1]

Helge Fauskanger has suggested that the form aicassë (retaining its meaning, and perhaps also include the meaning of Qenya aikasse, see below) could be valid Neo-Quenya.[2]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Qenya[edit | edit source]

Cognates[edit | edit source]

Notes

  1. The editor's note for aigos in Parma Eldalamberon XI (third impression May 2004) says that aikasse is the "Quenya form". However, all other entries refer to Qenya.
