Eldamo : Early Quenya : nelkesto

ᴱQ. nelkesto fraction. “one thirteenth” (Category: Fraction, Division)

⚠️ᴱQ. nelcesto, fraction. “one thirteenth” (Category: Fraction, Division): ᴺQ. ^nelquesta “one thirteenth”

A word appearing in the Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s as ᴱQ. nelkeatto or nelkesto “[one] 13th” with adjective forms ᴱQ. nelkestya or nelkeast(y)a (PE14/51, 84), combinations or ᴱQ. nelkea “thirteen” with the 1920s fractional suffix ᴱQ. -sto.

Neo-Quenya: Since I prefer nelquë “thirteen” from Tolkien’s later writings, I would update this form to ᴺQ. nelquesta “one thirteenth” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
