Quenya Mass-Nouns

This a full alphabetical index of all 262 Quenya mass-nouns loaded into the current dictionary. The letter list at the top of the index will take you to each first entry starting with that letter.

Each noun links to its own page giving the declension by number and case. Mass-nouns only have a “singular” form. A noun can also insert a pronominal possessive suffix before the case ending, with a meaning like a possessive pronoun in English; links at the bottom of a declension page will lead you to the full declension table for each such possessive.

If an entry below has a circled number at the end, that is a link to a corresponding page on the Eldamo website with more detailed linguistic background information about the noun.
