ᴺQ. !levemma n. “movie, motion picture” (Category: Painting, Picture)

ᴺQ. !levemma, n. “movie, motion picture” [created by NQ-Wiki] (Category: Painting, Picture)

A neologism appearing in the Neo-Quenya Wiki, a combination of [ᴺQ.] levë “motion” (based on ᴱQ. lev- “move”) and emma “picture”. Robert Reynolds instead suggested ᴺQ. menemma basing its initial element on the later word men- “go, move”, but I prefer levemma because I believe men- implies motion in one direction (= “go”) as opposed to lev- which implies motion in general (= “move”).
