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!

Early Quenya

tala

noun. sail

A word appearing in its instrumental forms talainen or talalínen “with/on wings” in various versions of the ᴱQ. Oilima Markirya from around 1930 (MC/213, 220). In the earliest drafts of the poem, the form was ᴱQ. alainen “upon wings” (PE16/062). In a glossary associated with one of the drafts, Tolkien translated tala as “sail” (PE16/75), perhaps indicating the translation “wings” was metaphorical.

tala(no)ite

adjective. footed

An adjective appearing as talaite or talanoite “footed” in the Qenya Lexicon, an elaboration of ᴱQ. tala “foot” (QL/88).

Neo-Quenya: Since -itë remains an adjective suffix in Tolkien’s later conception of the language, I think ᴺQ. talaitë “footed” can be retained for purposes of Neo-Quenya, analogous to Q. maitë “handed”.

tál

noun. foot; bottom, lowest part

velu

noun. sail

velunte

noun. sail

A word appearing as a noun ᴱQ. velunte “sail” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√VELU “unroll” (QL/100). In the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon, Tolkien compared G. belon “sail” to Q. velu (GL/22), but that could be a reference to the root.

Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. veluntë “sail” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√BELU “unroll”.
