ᴱQ. víle n. “gentle breeze” (Category: Breeze)

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “breeze – gentle”, derived from the early root ᴱ√VILI (QL/101).

Neo-Quenya: Since similar words like Q. vilya “air, sky” appear in Tolkien’s later writings (LotR/1123), I think ᴺQ. vílë “gentle breeze” can be salvaged for purposes of Neo-Eldarin as a derivative of the later root ᴹ√WIL.
