An untranslated form appearing in Notes on Names (NN) from 1957 derived from the root √PHELEG/PHELEK (PE17/118), possibly a verb derived from ✱phelektā- or ✱phelegtā-. The derivatives of this root had to do with mines and tunnels, so perhaps this verb meant “✱to excavate, tunnel, mine”.

A neologism for “raise (a child or animal), bring up” coined by Luinyelle posted on 2025-05-12 in the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), a causative form of OL “grow (up)”, so “cause to grow”. Note that this use of the same term for both children and animals implies the Elvish fondness for creatures under their care rather than their disregard for their own children.
