ehtelu-
verb. to well, bubble up
A verb in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from 1948, a combination of primitive ᴹ✶et “out” and ᴹ✶kelu- “flow, well up” (PE22/103), whose phonological developments mirror ehtelë. See ᴹQ. kelu- “to flow forth” for a discussion of similar verbs.
Conceptual Development: It seems to be a later iteration of (archaic) ᴱQ. †kektelu- “bubble up” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a verb form of ᴱQ. †kektele “fountain” (QL/46).
