Eldamo : Middle Quenya : manima

ᴹQ. manima adj. “of what kind, of what sort, what kind of” (Category: What)

⚠️ᴹQ. manima, adj. “of what kind, of what sort, what kind of” (Category: What): ᴺQ. !manaitë “of what kind, of what sort, what kind of”

The correlative ᴹQ. manima “of what kind, what kind of” appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/107), a combination of interrogative ᴹQ. ma and ᴹQ. -ima “way, manner”. It also appeared in Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from this same period (PE22/124).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. manaitë “of what kind, of what sort, what kind of” using the later suffix Q. -itë. Compare Q. taitë “of that sort”.
