helinillea
adjective. *violet [colour]
A word appearing as unglossed ᴱQ. helinillea in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjective form of the noun ᴱQ. helinille “violet”, so perhaps “✱violet [colour]” (QL/39).
Neo-Quenya: Since I retain ᴺQ. helinillë “violet [flower]” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would retain ᴺQ. helinillëa for “violet [colour]”.
