ᴱQ. veasta n. “resemblance, comparison” (Category: Like, Similar)

A word appearing as ᴱQ. veasta or víkele in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “resemblance, comparison”, noun forms of ᴱQ. vea “similar, like” and ᴱQ. vīke “as” respectively (QL/101).

Neo-Quenya: The word vëa survives in Tolkien’s later writings, albiet with a different meaning (“seeming, apparent”). As such, I would retain ᴺQ. vëasta, but only for the meaning “comparison”. For “️resemblance” I would instead use ᴺQ. ovëassë.
