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!
The word nektele “honeycomb” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s as an elaboration of ᴱQ. nekte “honey” (QL/65; PME/65).
Neo-Quenya: I’d update this word to ᴺQ. nehtelë “honeycomb” to be compatible with the later form Q. nehtë “honey” (PE19/91).
