first (Q) MINI, (R, Q?) ING, (Q) ESE/ESET (Read probably yesta for esta: In the Etymologies, Tolkien marked the entry ESE/ESET with a query because it yielded words that clashed with words derived from another stem, ES. In LotR Appendix D, we find yestarë as the name of the first day of the year, evidently meaning simply *"first-day" (means day). This indicates that Tolkien had decided to change the stem to YESE/YESET, thus eliminating the homophones. Hence we should prefix a y to all the Quenya words derived from this stem.) First day (Q?) YEN; first year (Q?) YEN; Firstborn ESE/ESET (but the form Estanesse [read Yestanesse? see FIRST] given here is probably obsoleted by Minnónar in The War of the Jewels p. 403, sg. *Minnóna.)
