nelt
noun. corner (from outside)
A word appearing as ᴱQ. nelt “corner (from outside)” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√NELE “point” (QL/65).
Neo-Quenya: In Tolkien’s later writings √NEL meant “three”, but I think this early word might be adapted as ᴺQ. neltë “corner” in reference to [ᴹQ.] neltil “triangle” (Ety/NEL).
