sinqina
adjective. metallic
A word appearing as ᴱQ. sinqina “metallic” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. sink (sinq-) “mineral, gem, metal” under the early root ᴱ√SINI “pale blue” (QL/83).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this word to ᴺQ. tincoina “metallic” based on the later word tinco “metal”.
