Eldamo : Early Primitive Elvish : KEKE¹

ᴱ√KEKE¹ root. “to bubble up”

⚠️ᴱ√KEKE¹ root. “to bubble up”: √KEL “flow (down or away), run (of water or rivers), go away, [ᴹ√] run away especially downwards or at end; ⚠️[ᴱ√] ooze, trickle”

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “to bubble up”, with derivatives like ᴱQ. kektele “fountain” and G. caithl “source, fount, origin” (QL/46; GL/25). In later writings, “spring” was derived from ᴹ✶et-kelē = ᴹ√ET “out” + ᴹ√KEL “flow”, so that ᴱ√KEKE¹ “to bubble up” was probably abandoned.
