Early Quenya

lúrea

adjective. overcast, dark [of weather]

ᴱQ. lūrea “dark, overcast” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon as an adjectival form of ᴱQ. lūre “dark weather” (QL/57); the same form was mentioned in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the gloss “overcast, dark” (PME/57).

Neo-Quenya: I think this word might be salvaged as ᴺQ. lúrëa; see the entry on ᴺQ. lúrë for a possible revised etymology.
