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 Primitive Elvish

keke

root. to bubble up

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “to bubble up”, with derivatives like ᴱQ. kektele “fountain” and G. caithl “source, fount, origin” (QL/46; GL/25). In later writings, “spring” was derived from ᴹ✶et-kelē = ᴹ√ET “out” + ᴹ√KEL “flow”, so that ᴱ√KEKE¹ “to bubble up” was probably abandoned.

keke

root. cluck

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “cluck”, with derivatives ᴱQ. keket “pheasant” and ᴱQ. kekteket “clucking” (QL/46). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing, but I think it is worth retaining for purposes of Neo-Eldarin.

Derivatives

  • Eq. keket “pheasant” ✧ QL/046
  • Eq. kekteket “clucking” ✧ QL/046

Variations

  • KEKE ✧ QL/046
