ᴺQ. !cilometer n. “kilometer” (Category: to Measure)

ᴺQ. !cilometer, n. “kilometer” [created by NQ-Wiki] (Category: to Measure)

A neologism for “kilometer” in the Neo-Quenya Wiki, a direct borrowing of the European word since it fits Quenya phonology. The Neo-Quenya Wiki also had ᴺQ. húmeter using the Quenya word ᴺQ. húmë for “hundred”, but I am of the opinion that if you are going to borrow part, you may as well borrow all, since this is the general practice for the metric system.


ᴺQ. !húmeter n. “kilometre, km” (Category: to Measure)

See ᴺQ. !cilometer for discussion.
