ᴱQ. nostale n. “species, kind; nature” (Category: Other Collective Words)

A word appearing as ᴱQ. nostale “species, kind” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a noun form of ᴱQ. nosta- “give birth to” (QL/53). It also appeared in the contemporaneous Gnomish Grammar in the phrase ᴱQ. nostalen mára “good by nature” (GG/10).

Neo-Quenya: Since nosta- still means “to beget” in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺQ. nostalë “species, kind, *type, sort” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but for “nature” I would use Q. nassë.
