ᴺQ. !nelmasirpë [þ] n. “thistle, (lit.) needle-stalk” (Category: Vegetation (other))
A neologism for a “thistle” coined by Helge Fauskanger for his Neo-Quenya New Testament (NQNT), a combination of [ᴱQ.] nelma “needle” and [ᴱQ.] sirpë “stalk”. He also had ᴺQ. nastalaima “thistle” as a combination of [ᴹQ.] nasta “spear-head” and laima “plant”, but I prefer nelmasirpë.
