heleg

noun. ice

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “ice” derived from the root ᴹ√KHELEK of the same meaning (Ety/KHELEK).

Conceptual Development: G. heleg “ice” also appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s along with a variant helc, both under primitive χele-k (GL/48). This is clearly related to the early root ᴱ√HELE as first suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Helkar; QL/39).

yalka

noun. ice

A noun for “ice” in the Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√ẎALA “ring, sound hollow” (QL/105). Elsewhere in the Qenya Lexicon Tolkien contrasted it with ᴱQ. helke “ice” (QL/39), and in later writings Tolkien retained helke and seems to have abandoned yalka.

lhinc

noun. ice

A noun for “ice” in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s, clearly related to nearby ᴱN. lhing “cool” (PE13/149), but in lists both before and after this time the usual word for “cold” was ring (GL/65; VT42/13), so lhinc and lhing were likely a transient ideas.
