I need a word for kind (adj). I know S has milui (friendly, loving, kind), but don't know how to convert it to Q. Where could I find rules for translating, and when do you simply bring a word from S to Q as a loanword?
Sorry, I do not have access to any sources for now, but why not manë? In Helge's wordlist it states: manë adj. "good (moral)" (sc. *"good in a moral sense") (LT1:260, VT49:26)
+Menelion Elensúlë to me mane is too closely connected with MAN and meanings like blessed. But indeed it is a possibility. It is always good to have a choice.
I also need a noun "kindness," and a word "to draw" in the sense of "The book draws me." --as opposed to being drawn forcibly. úva (to impend, be imminent, draw near) doesn't get what I am looking for. Thanks for your help! This is a very interesting discussion, and I am learning a lot.
+Rick Spell When asking about a group or faction (especially during wartime): "Are they friendly". The attested starting point is cotya "hostile". -ngotto = ñotto "enemy". Also compare avanótë.

The Sindarin adjectival suffix -ui was generalized from primitive -ya (VT42/10, 25) so perhaps Q. melya.

for 'draw' there is an EQ verb teta- "attract", coming from the root TEHE, which also yields tea "straight" (Ihttp://eldamo.org/content/words/word-2852526649.html - suspect +Александр Запрягаев will touch upon this root when he analyses TEG/TEK etc.).
From PE17 we also have lelya- "appear (of beautiful things), attract, enchant" (http://eldamo.org/content/words/word-2696870919.html), so you can say i parma lelya nin "the book is attractive to me, I like the book"
