⚠️ᴱ√QEL+U root. “*well up”: √KEL “flow (down or away), run (of water or rivers), go away, [ᴹ√] run away especially downwards or at end; ⚠️[ᴱ√] ooze, trickle”

An unglossed root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, apparently a variant of ᴱ√KELU “flow, run; ooze, trickle”, with derivatives like ᴱQ. qelu “well, spring, source” and ᴱQ. qelu- “well up” (QL/76). See the entry on √KEL for later conceptual developments of similar roots.
