Q. entya adj. “central, middle” (Category: Middle)
An adjective appearing as {ened >>} entya “central, middle” in notes from the late 1960s, derived from primitive ✶enetya since in this note Tolkien was considered revising its root to √HENET (VT41/16).
Neo-Quenya: Since the root for “middle” was usually √ENED, I’d ignore this late revision and stick with ᴹQ. enya < ✶en[e]dya from The Etymologies (Ety/ÉNED).

ᴹQ. enya¹ adj. “middle” (Category: Middle)
An adjective for “middle” in The Etymologies of the 1930s derived from ᴹ✶endya under the root ᴹ√ÉNED “centre” (Ety/ÉNED).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would instead use this word for “*central” similar to the gloss of later entya. For “middle” I would use the later adjective Q. endëa.
