Do you consider the Eldarissa
munta
'nothing' unfit for import into late-source Quenya? Etym. has the negative root variants MU- and UMU-, and
-nta
could plausibly derive from *
nata
, a by-form of
nat
'thing'.

Well, your reasoning is sound, the word fits phonologically, and it does not clash with any later word, so yes, it could be imported, I agree.
