Q. lotsë n. “small (single) flower” (Category: Flower)
A word for a “smaller flower” or a “small single flower” based on the root √LOT (PE17/160; VT42/18). In one place it had a variant lotte (PE17/160), but I think lotsë is more distinct. The general word for a “(large) flower” was lótë; see that entry for discussion.
Conceptual Development: In the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s, ᴱQ. tetl was “small flower” based on the early root ᴱ√TETE “bud, blossom” (QL/92; PME/92)
