A rejected Quenya equivalent of S. beleg “large, great, big” given as (crossed through) velka or velke, appearing in notes probably from the late 1960s (PE17/115). This rejection seems to be because Tolkien revised the primitive form to ✶mbelek- so that the Quenya name Q. Melkor could be related instead.
Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. velike as equivalent to G. beleg “mighty, great” (GL/22), and the contemporaneous Quenya Lexicon had the stem form Velikĭ- “great” (QL/100). Early Qenya word-lists of the 1920s had velike (velity-) “large” (PE16/137). The Etymologies of the 1930s did not have an Quenya equivalent of N. beleg “great” (Ety/BEL), but it seems these Early Qenya forms were lurking in Tolkien’s mind until he revised the etymology of these words in his later writings, as noted above.
velca ("k") noun "flame" (LT1:260; nár, nárë would be the normal word in Tolkien's later Quenya)
