ᴱQ. velitya- v. “to magnify” (Category: to Add, Increase)

A verb in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “magnify” based on ᴱQ. Velikĭ- “great” (QL/100).

Neo-Quenya: In Tolkien’s later writings, velikĭ- “great” became √MBELEK, so I would update this verb to ᴺQ. meletya- “to magnify” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
