kulukalmalínen

with golden lights

The eighth phrase of the first version of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/220). It is a compound word, a combination of kulu “gold” and the instrumental plural form of kalma “light”.

Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:

> kulu-kalma-lí-nen = “✱gold-light-(plural)-with”

Conceptual Development: This phrase appeared in the second draft of the poem, and aside from the variant Finnish-like spellings of the fifth draft (OM1e: PE16/72), it remained the same thereafter.

proper name. Gold-song

kuluin

noun. goldfish

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. kuluin (kuluind-) “goldfish” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱQ. kulu “gold” and some variant of ᴱQ. ingwe “fish” (QL/49).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. cullingwë as a combination of √KUL “gold” and Q. lingwë “fish”.
