N. eden adj. “new, begun again” (Category: New)
A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “new, begun again” under the root ᴹ√AT(AT) “again, back” (Ety/AT(AT)).
Possible Etymology: The word eden is probably based on an adjectival form *atanyā, with the y > i causing i-affection of both a to i [*eteni(a)], then intruding into the preceding syllable [*edein], and finally ei becoming e in the now-final syllable as was often the case in Noldorin of the 1930s [eden].
