5 inimeitë

6 -nya
pronominal suffix, 1st person sg. possessive, "my" VT49:16, 38, 48, e.g. tatanya *"my daddy" UT:191, VT48:17, meldonya *my male friend VT49:38, meldenya *"my female friend Elaine inscription, omentienya *my meeting PE17:68, tyenya my tye tye being an intimate form of you, used = dear kinsman VT49:51, 56. This ending seems to prefer i as its connecting vowel where one is needed, cf. Anarinya "my sun" in LR:72, so also in hildinyar "my heirs". It was previously theorized by some that a final -ë would also be changed to -i- before -nya, but the example órenya "my heart órë" indicates that this is not the case VT41:11. -

The fem. name Nessanië UT:210 would seem to incorporate Nessa's name; the second element could mean "tear" nië, but since Nessa is not normally associated with sorrow, this \#nië is perhaps rather a variant of ní "female" compare Tintanië as a variant of Tintallë. -
