Eldamo : Early Quenya : nektele

ᴱQ. nektele n. “honeycomb” (Category: Honey)

⚠️ᴱQ. nectelë, n. “honeycomb” (Category: Honey): ᴺQ. ^nehtelë “honeycomb”

The word nektele “honeycomb” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s as an elaboration of ᴱQ. nekte “honey” (QL/65; PME/65).

Neo-Quenya: I’d update this word to ᴺQ. nehtelë “honeycomb” to be compatible with the later form Q. nehtë “honey” (PE19/91).
