Derivations

< √KEL “flow (down or away), run (of water or rivers), go away”

ᴱQ. keleta n. “trickle” (Category: to Flow)

A word appearing as ᴱQ. keleta “a trickle” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√KELE “flow, run; ooze, trickle” (QL/46).

Neo-Quenya: Since √KEL “flow” survives in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺQ. celeta “trickle” for purposes of Neo-Quenya. It would have to be derived from *kelētā to retain its middle vowel; compare Oromë < ✶Orǭmē.
