Q. allumë adv. “never” (Category: Never)
An adverb for “never” appearing in drafts of the Löa Yucainen poem of the 1950s (CPT/1297), probably a combination of the negative prefix al(a)- with lúmë “time”.
Conceptual Development: Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/111), also had ᴹQ. allume, but in that document it was glossed “at no date” and had a variant láqallume with prefixal láqa- (PE23/109, PE23/110 note #121). This document also had ᴹQ. allan “never” and {aláqan, láqan(an) >>} lálan, allanan “at no time”, combinations of ᴹQ. alla “none” and ᴹQ. -n(an) “time” (PE23/109 and note #114). Drafts had {lá >>} alla “never, at no time” (PE23/110 note #121).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would stick with Q. allumë for “never”, since I believe ᴹQ. -n(an) has abandoned.
