An adjective in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “flame-coloured, golden-red” derived from the root ᴹ√KUL “golden-red” along with a variant ᴹQ. kulda (Ety/KUL), the latter probably derived from ✱kulnā. These adjectives replaced an early version kul(l)ina that seems to have only meant “red” (EtyAC/KUL).
Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s had ᴱQ. kuluvoite “golden” with variant kuluksa, an elaboration of ᴱQ. kulu “gold” under the early root ᴱ√KULU (QL/49; PME/49).
