The noun ᴱQ. qilde or qille “quiet, rest, hush” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√QḶÐḶ (QL/44). Qilde also appeared in the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon as equivalent to (deleted) G. clidhron (GL/23). The Declension of Nouns from the early 1930s instead had noun ᴹQ. qilir “quiet” derived from primitive ᴹ✶ku̯ilẹz (PE21/33-34), based on a similar root.
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I prefer ᴺQ. quildë “quiet, rest, hush” as most compatible with its adjective form ᴺQ. quilda “quiet, hushed, still” and the later Quenya syncope.
