elanor
noun. pimpernel, small golden star-shaped flower, (lit.) sun-star
The name of a flower in Lórien translated “sun-star” also given as the name of the first daughter of Samwise (LotR/1026). It is a combination of el “star” and Anor “sun” (PE17/55). In notes for the tale of Aldarion and Erendis, Tolkien said it also grew in Númenor and “was a small golden star-shaped flower” (UT/216 note #20). In a letter to Amy Ronald from 1969, Tolkien described it as “a pimpernel (perhaps a little enlarged) growing sun-golden flowers and star-silver ones on the same plant, and sometimes the two combined” (Let/402). Thus it was either a golden star-shaped flower or a pimpernel-like plant growing both sun-coloured and star-coloured flowers.

noun. larch
pint
noun. tail
A noun appearing as ᴱQ. pint (pimp-) “tail” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√PIPI “hang, trail” (QL/74).
Neo-Quenya: Helge Fauskanger adopted this word as ᴺQ. pimpë “tail” in his NQNT (NQNT), and I agree with this adaptation, since in later Quenya it was less likely final vowels were lost in disyllables. I would assume a stem form of pimpi- however.

Pimpernel Took
Pimpernel Took
Pimpernel is a genus of the primrose family and its fruits resemble peppercorns. The name derives from Latin pimpernella meaning "little pepper".
fini(o)s
noun. larch
A noun appearing as G. finis or finios “larch” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/35), likely a cognate to ᴱQ. fine “larch” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/38). According to the editors, there was a cross mark near this and some other related words, possibly indicating their deletion.
Neo-Sindarin: Since ᴹQ. fine “larch” survived in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺS. finios “larch” as well for purposes of Neo-Sindarin.
