1 can-
1 prefix "k" "four" KÁNAT 2 vb. "command, order" give an order or with things as object "demand" PM:361-362; where various derivatives of the stem KAN- are listed; the verb *can- is not directly cited, but seems implied by the statement "in Quenya the sense command had become the usual one". The undefined verb canya- listed elsewhere PE17:113 may also be taken as the actual verbal derivative that Tolkien here refers to. -
2 -uva
future tense ending. In avuva, caluva, cenuva, hiruva, enquantuva, entuluva, laituvalmet, lauva, maruvan, termaruva, tiruvantes. A final -a drops out before the ending -uva is added: quanta- fill, future tense quantuva PE17:68. A verbal stem in -av- may be contracted when -uva follows, as when avuva is stated to have become auva VT49:13. Origin/etymology of the ending -uva, see VT48:32. In VT49:30, the future tense of the verb to be is given as uva, apparently the future-tense ending appearing independently, but several other sources rather give nauva for will be see ná \#1. -
3 caw-
vb. "bow" "k"1st pers aorist cawin "I bow" LT1:257; cf. cauca, cauco. In Tolkien's later Quenya, a verbal stem with w in this position does not seem to fit the general phonology well; intervocalic w would become v. We should perhaps read *cav- whereever the second consonant of the root follows a vowel, but the nasal-infixed past tense could be *canwë with the original quality of the consonant preserved. Compare such a past tense form as anwë, q.v. However, Tolkiens later verb luhta- may be preferred for intransitive bow.
