<K> KEEN laice (sharp, acute, *piercing); KEENNESS (of perception) laice (acuteness) -LAIK KEEPING (safe) mando (custody) -MR:350 KHAZAD-DUM Casarrondo (Dwarrowvault) -WJ:389 KIN nosse (house , people) -LT1:250, 272/LT2:338 KIND nostale (species) -LT1:272 KINDLE tinta- (cause to sparkle), turu-, tunda- (Note: there is a homonym meaning "tall") -Silm:438, LT1:270 KING aran (pl arani is attested) In Etym, the Quenya word for "king, chieftain" is haran pl. harni, but evidence from LotR, WJ and UT shows that Tolkien changed it to aran pl arani. Cf. asea aranion (?) "kingsfoil", i arani Eldaron "the Kings of the Eldar", Arandor "kingsland", aranya *"my king", arandil "king's friend, royalist", and arandur "king's servant, minister".) LT1:273 has vardar "king", but this is hardly a valid word in mature Quenya. KINGLY BULL Aramund (this may not be pure Quenya) -3AR, LotR:899, WJ:369, UT:165, 193, 313, Letters:386, 423 KINGSFISHER halatirno, or halatir (halatirn-) (lit. "fishwatcher") -SKAL2, TIR KNIGHT roquen (rider, horseman) -UT:282 cf. WJ:372 KNOB tolos (lump) -LT1:269 KNOCK (keep on knocking) tamba- -TAM KNOLL nola -NDOL KNOT narda, nute (bond). Pl. probably *nuter not *nuti; cf. the similar formation tyave "taste", pl tyaver. -SNAR, NU KNOW ista (pa.t. sinte); KNOW ABOUT hanya- (understand, be skilled in dealing with), KNOWLEDGE hande (understanding), ista, istya, isse (lore), nole (long study, lore, wisdom). (In Etym this word is spelt with initial n, that is, ng. Initial ng had become n in Third Age Quenya, and I follow the system of LotR and transcribe it accordingly. Nole is so spelt also in Silm:432. But if this word is written in Tengwar, the initial n should be transcribed with the letter noldo, not numen.) HAVING KNOWLEDGE istima (wise, learned) -IS/LT2:339; KHAN, NGOL, Silm:432 K-SERIES calmatema -LotR:1154
