Herald of the Valar in the earliest Lost Tales (LT1/77). It appears to be an elaboration of nornoro- “to run smoothly” as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Nornorë, QL/67). This name first appeared as Nornoros (PE14/13; QL/67).

nornelassea

adjective. having oak-leaves

A word appearing as ᴱQ. nornelasse(a) “having oak-leaves” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱQ. norne “oak-tree” and ᴱQ. lassea “with leaves” (QL/67).

Neo-Quenya: Since Q. norno was a later form of the Quenya word for “oak”, I would update this word to ᴺQ. nornolassëa for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
