A word for “snow-cap” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with variant forms niqetil (niqetild-) and niqetilde, a combination of ᴱ√NIQI “white” and ᴱQ. tilde “point, tip, peak” (QL/66, 92), also mentioned in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/66). Most notably it was an element in the name ᴱQ. Taniqetil “Lofty Snowcap” (QL/87), which in later writings became “High White Peak” (RGEO/61).
