ᴺS. !telum “mushroom”

Derivations

< √TELU “roof in, put the crown on a building”

ᴱQ. telumbe n. “mushroom, (lit.) fairy-canopy” (Category: Vegetation (other))

A word appearing as ᴱQ. telumbe “mushroom” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the root ᴱ√TELE “cover in”, along with a longer variant inwetelumbe where the initial element was ᴱQ. inwe “fairy” (QL/42), hence more properly “fairy-canopy” (QL/90).

Neo-Quenya: Since √TELU meant “roof in” in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺQ. telumbë “mushroom” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
