Looking for ideas how you guys would say "chaos, disorder, mess, confusion, havoc, tohuvabohu" and related adjectives etc. in Quenya (or Sindarin).

Björn Fromén Jun 29, 2017 (23:20)

*ilaraucie 'pandemonium' ? :)

Tamas Ferencz Jun 29, 2017 (23:28)

+Björn Fromén very poetic:)

In S, I would use *pengonas (< pen- + caun "chief, head" + -as) based on E anarchy (< G anarkhia "lack of a leader") and H fejetlenség ("headlessness").

+Lőrinczi Gábor I like that - although perhaps less applicable to a "simple" mess (as in "my room is in a mess") a.k.a. Hungarian rendetlenség.

Q *ráva–lë, –rë, *ravaitië, etc. from http://eldamo.org/content/words/word-3655903617.html ?

Then there's also the root PHAS and Q fasta-.
