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 ᴱQ. qildare “bat” appeared in both the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s as an elaboration of ᴱQ. qilda “quiet” (QL/78; PME/78).
Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. quildarë “bat” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, still based on ᴺQ. quilda “quiet”.
