N. tele n. “end, rear, hindmost part” (Category: Behind, At the Rear)
A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “end, rear, hindmost part” under the root ᴹ√TELES “hindmost, tarrier” (Ety/TELES).
Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. telu “end” based only the early root ᴱ√tel- “cover in; close; finish” (GL/70). This early version seems to refer to a temporal end rather than a spatial end.
