mélamar
noun. (emotional) home
A term for one’s “emotional home” or “✱true home” from which one is currently separated, a combination of mel “love” and már “home” (PE17/109). For example, Valinor remained the mélamar for many of the Noldor despite their exile to Middle-earth. This word is adapted from S. milbar of the same meaning; see that entry for further discussion.

qiltasse
noun. (em)broidery
A noun appearing as ᴱQ. qiltasse “(em)broidery” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√QILI (QL/77). It also appeared with the gloss “broidery” in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/77).
Neo-Quenya: The initial element of this word looks suspiciously like quilta “belt”, so I suspect that the meaning of this word might originally have been an abstract noun meaning “belted with decorative elements”, influenced by the sense “embellish” of the verb quilya-. I therefore retain this word but with this slightly different etymology, and then assume it went on to influence the meaning of other words like quilin “adorned, (orig.) bright-coloured” and quilinoitë “[em]broidered”.
