An adjective in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as silda or sildra “slender”, derived from the early root ᴱ√SḶŘḶ [ÞḶÐḶ] (QL/73).
Early Quenya
silde
noun. daughter
silda
adjective. gleaming
píke assari silde
blinking on bones gleaming
sild(r)a
adjective. slender
sui
noun. daughter
The thirty third line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/214). The first word is the aorist form of the verb pik- “to blink” followed by an inflected form assari of as (ass-) “bone” modified by the plural form of the adjective silda “gleaming”. Gilson, Welden, and Hostetter suggested that assari might be an idiomatic use of the dative or perhaps a variant accusative (PE16/87), but I believe it might be a variant locative: the r-locative.
Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:
