Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Early Primitive Elvish

fili

root. fine, thin

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “fine, thin” and having derivatives like ᴱQ. filwa “fine, thin” and ᴱQ. filqe “fern” (QL/38), the latter with a Gnomish counterpart G. fileg “fern” (GL/35). A probable “last gasp” for this root is the word ᴹQ. filet (filek-) “cobweb” from the early 1930s with a deleted gloss “fern” (PE21/33), but there are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s writing after that point.
