cucyne : kitchen
The Illunse word for kitchen is cucyne. There's an interior design business called CUCYNE Cuisines in Strasbourg, France.
This word is a mixture of the Latin word for kitchen which is culina (kitchen; portable kitchen; food / fare / board; cooking; place for burnt offerings), and the Old English word for kitchen which is cycene (kitchen [coquina]).
One definition of the Latin word culina is place for burnt offerings, which is interesting. This doesn't imply burned toast, which I too often make in the kitchen.
I didn't find words for kitchen in Tolkien's languages of Quenya and Sindarin.
