A word appearing as ᴱQ. lótea “full of blossom” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. lóte “flower, blossom” under the early root ᴱ√LO’O (QL/55-56).
Neo-Quenya: Since Q. lótë “flower” survived in Tolkien’s later writings, I would keep ᴺQ. lótëa “full of blossom, ✱blooming, flowering” for purposes of Neo-Quenya. This adjective also appeared in lilótëa “having many flowers” from the late 1960s (VT42/18).
