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