ᴺQ. !ëarsil, n. “pearl, (lit.) sea-sheen” [created by Paul Strack] (Category: Gem, Jewel): ᴱQ. marilla “pearl”

A neologism for a “pearl” coined by Paul Strack on 2022-04-10 on the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS) as a combination of ëar “sea” and √SIL “shine”, so literally “sea-sheen”. It replaced an earlier neologism ëassar by Elaran where the second element was sar “(small) stone”, because “sea-stone” is a bit too prosaic.

Elements

Q. ëar	“sea, great sea”
