An adjective appearing as ᴱQ. qalta “girdled, girt” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√QḶTḶ (QL/78). The vowel a indicates its primitive form had a long syllabic ḹ, which became al in Early Qenya (PE12/11).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would just use the passive participle ᴺQ. quiltaina of the verb quilta- “to gird, encircle”.
