A neologism for “pasture” created by Boris Shapiro in PPQ (PPQ) from the early 2000s, based on N. nadhras of the same meaning. I prefer instead to retain the early noun ᴱQ. nessele “pasture, mead[ow]; pasturage” for this purpose.

Early Quenya

nessele

noun. pasture, mead; pasturage

The noun ᴱQ. nessele appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with the gloss “pasture, mead; also = pasturage”, a derivative of the early root ᴱ√NESE “give to feed; feed, pasture; graze” (QL/66). It was also mentioned in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the gloss “pasture” (PME/66).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain this word as ᴺQ. nesselë “pasture, mead[ow]; pasturage” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, derived from the Neo-Root ᴺ√NES.
