Early Quenya

noun. floret
Cognates
- G. lothli “floret”
A word appearing as ᴱQ. lotella “a floret” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a diminutive form of ᴱQ. lóte “flower” (QL/055).
Neo-Quenya: Since Q. lótë “flower” appeared regularly in Tolkien’s later writings, I’d keep ᴺQ. lotella “floret” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
