Q. nattira- v. (a-verb) “to despise” (Category: Hate)
A verb in the Ortírielyanna prayer from the 1950s, in the phrase alalyë nattira arcandemmar sangiessemman “despise not our petitions in our necessities” (VT44/8). According to the editors, it is likely a combination of √DAT “down” and √TIR “look”, so more literally “look down on”, patterned after the etymology of English (and Latin) “despise”. In a 2025-06-16 post to the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), Vyacheslav Stepanov suggested it might also mean “*ignore”.
