helin

noun. pansy

A word appearing as ᴱQ. helin “pansy” in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s (QL/39; PME/39). It was unrelated to the early root ᴱ√HELE having to do with ice (QL/39).

Neo-Quenya: The root √KHEL remained the basis for ice words in Tolkien’s later writings, but if helin “pansy” could coexist with the earlier form of this root, I think it can coexist with the later form as well. ᴺQ. helin “pansy” is worth keeping for purposes of Neo-Sindarin since it is the basis for several words for purple flowers and colours. The word helin and its derivatives might be reconceived as being related to the 1930s root ᴹ√ƷEL “sky”, which had derived words having to do with “(pale) blue”.

helinille

noun. violet

A word appearing as ᴱQ. helinille “violet” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an elaboration of ᴱQ. helin “pansy” (QL/39).

Neo-Quenya: Since I retain ᴺQ. helin “pansy” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would retain ᴺQ. helinillë “violet [flower]” as well.

helinyetille

feminine name. Eyes of Heartsease

Another name for Nessa appearing in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa from the 1910s, also appearing as Helinyen (QL/39, PME/39), apparently a combination of helin “pansy” and some variation of yéta- “look at”, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Nessa).

helinqila

adjective. mauve

A word appearing as ᴱQ. helinqila “mauve” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱQ. helin “pansy” and ᴱQ. -qil(e)a “-hued” (QL/39).

Neo-Quenya: Since I retain ᴺQ. helin “pansy” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would retain ᴺQ. helinquila “mauve” as well.

helinwa

adjective. of pansies; (of colour) a blue-violet

A word appearing as ᴱQ. helinwa “of pansies; of colour = a blue-violet” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjective form of ᴱQ. helin “pansy” (QL/39).

Neo-Quenya: Since I retain ᴺQ. helin “pansy” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would retain ᴺQ. helinwa “of pansies; (of colour) a blue-violet” as well.

helinillea

adjective. *violet [colour]

A word appearing as unglossed ᴱQ. helinillea in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjective form of the noun ᴱQ. helinille “violet”, so perhaps “✱violet [colour]” (QL/39).

Neo-Quenya: Since I retain ᴺQ. helinillë “violet [flower]” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would retain ᴺQ. helinillëa for “violet [colour]”.

halkin

adjective. frozen

An adjective in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as ᴱQ. halkin “frozen” based on the early root ᴱ√HḶKḶ, a variant of ᴱ√HELE (QL/39).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I think it is best to update this to the passive-participle form ᴺQ. helina “frozen” of ᴺQ. hel- “to freeze”.
