quel-
verb. to fade, to fade; [ᴹQ.] †to fail; [ᴱQ.] to perish
A verb for “to fade” indicated by the season and month names quellë “fading” and Narquelië “Sun-fading” in The Lord of the Rings appendices (LotR/1110). It was clearly derived from the root √KWEL “fade, die away, grow faint” (PE18/103).
Conceptual Development: This verb dates back to the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, where ᴱQ. qele- “perish, etc.” appeared under the early root ᴱ√QELE “perish, die, decay, fail” (QL/76). In Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s, qel- was glossed “fade” (PE16/134). In ᴹQ. Fíriel’s Song from the 1930s it appeared in its future form ᴹQ. qeluva “faileth” (LR/63, 72).
A verb appearing as winta “scatter, blow about” in notes from the late 1960s, which Tolkien specified as both transitive and intransitive (PM/376). Tolkien said it was related to Q. winge “foam” and hence was derived from either ᴹ√WIG or (more likely) a variant ✱√WIÑ.
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I represent this word as vinta- in keeping with its modern pronunciation; see the entry on the consonant [w] for discussion. Given that it could be used intransitively as well as transitively, I think this would be a formative verb derived from primitive ✱wiñ-t(ă), probably with distinct intransitive and transitive pasts: vinintë and vintanë.
