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!
ᴱQ. kalleva “fair (weather or complexion)” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon along with a variant ᴱQ. kallevoite, both adjectival forms of ᴱQ. kalle “fair weather” under the early root ᴱ√KALA “shine golden” (QL/44).
Neo-Quenya: I think this word might be salvaged as ᴺQ. calleva, since the later root √KAL was still associated with light, and this description of fair weather seems to boil down to “lightness”, as in the absense of obscuring clouds, and similarly for “fair complexion”.
