Quenya Lexicon

This is an English to Quenya wordlist that contains approximately 2,000 English headwords (I haven’t actually counted, so if anyone does, please let me know!). Secondary meanings of words are placed in brackets after the Quenya word; this is also so for stem variation and other words to clarify meaning of the headword, and literal meanings are placed in speech marks.
