ᴱQ. nessele n. “pasture, mead; pasturage” (Category: Pasture)

The noun ᴱQ. nessele appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with the gloss “pasture, mead; also = pasturage”, a derivative of the early root ᴱ√NESE “give to feed; feed, pasture; graze” (QL/66). It was also mentioned in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the gloss “pasture” (PME/66).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain this word as ᴺQ. nesselë “pasture, mead[ow]; pasturage” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, derived from the Neo-Root ᴺ√NES.
