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!

Early Primitive Elvish

qili

root. *colour

An unglossed root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives having to do with colour and adornments like ᴱQ. qile “hue, colour” and ᴱQ. qilya- “adorn, embellish, colour” (QL/77). It had derivatives in the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon as well such as G. cwil “hue, tint” (GL/28). As there are no better options for a generic words for “colour” in Tolkien’s later writing, I recommend positing a Neo-Eldarin root ᴺ√KWIL “colour” to preserve these Early Qenya words.

Early Quenya

qilta

noun. belt, girdle

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. qilta “girdle, belt” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√QḶTḶ (QL/78). It also appeared with the gloss “belt” in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/78).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would retain ᴺQ. quilta “belt” from a Neo-Root ᴺ√KWILIT, but for “girdle” I would use Q. lesta (WJ/369).
