Early Quenya

nektele

noun. honeycomb

The word nektele “honeycomb” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s as an elaboration of ᴱQ. nekte “honey” (QL/65; PME/65).

Neo-Quenya: I’d update this word to ᴺQ. nehtelë “honeycomb” to be compatible with the later form Q. nehtë “honey” (PE19/91).
