A word glossed “with hair like white flowers” from a vocabulary list in drafts of the ᴱQ. Earendel poem written towards the end of the 1920s; it was a combination of ᴱQ. silqe “hair” and ᴱQ. losse “white-flower” (PE16/100). It appeared in the nominative plural form ᴱQ. silqelosseën “with blossom-white hair” in the final version of the poem (MC/216).
