An adjectice meaning “golden, sunlit” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with variant forms aürqila and auriqilea (QL/33), apparently a combination of ᴱQ. aure “sunlight” and ᴱQ. qilea “hued”. The first variant aürqila is unusual in that it implies aü as vowels in hiatus rather than the usual diphthong [au̯]. The only other similar example is 5-syllable anaükante (PE12/27).
