poimine
noun. lather, foam; mermaid
A noun appearing as ᴱQ. poimine “lather” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an elaboration of ᴱQ. poime “soap” (QL/75). In the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa it was glossed “lather, foam; a mermaid” (PME/75).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I’d update this word to ᴺQ. lipsanë, an elaboration of the later word ᴹQ. lipsa for “soap”.
