Q. Aldëa n. “*Tuesday, Tree-day (Númenórean)” (Category: Tuesday)
An alternate name for Aldúya [“Day of the Two Trees”] used in Númenór as an adjective based on singular alda “tree” rather than dual aldu “two trees”, in reference to the White Tree of Númenor rather than the Two Trees of Valinor (LotR/1110).
Conceptual Development: ᴱQ. aldea “tree-shadowed” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s as an adjectival form of ᴱQ. alda “tree” (QL/29).
Reference ✧ LotR/1110 ✧ “fourth day of the Númenórean week”
