Eldamo : Early Quenya : fúme

ᴱQ. fúme n. “(deep) sleep” (Category: to Sleep; Sleep)

⚠️ᴱQ. fúmë, n. “(deep) sleep” (Category: to Sleep; Sleep): Q. lórë “[ᴹQ.] slumber, *sleep; [Q.] dream”

A noun for “sleep” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√FUMU of the same meaning (QL/39). It also appeared in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the glosses “deep sleep, dream”, but the second gloss “dream” was struck through (PME/39). Tolkien seems to have vacillated between the stem forms fūmi- and fūme-.
