linquë

hyacinth

linquë (3) noun "hyacinth" (plant, not jewel) (PE17:62). The wording in the source is not altogether clear; it is said that the word lassë (leaf) "would not e.g. be used of leaf of a hyacinth (linque)". If linquë is not the term for a hyacinth, it must refer to the kind of leaf a hyacinth has. Compare #2 above.
