má

noun "hand" MA3, LT2:339, Narqelion, VT39:10, VT45:30, VT47:6, 18, 19; the dual "a pair of hands" is attested both by itself as mát VT47:6 and with a pronominal suffix as máryat "his/her pair of hands" see -rya, -t Nam, RGEO:67.

Cf. also the compounds mátengwië "language of the hands" VT47:9 and Lungumá "Heavyhand" VT47:19; also compare the adj. -maitë "-handed". See also málimë.
