ᴱQ. velunte n. “sail” (Category: Sail)
A word appearing as a noun ᴱQ. velunte “sail” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√VELU “unroll” (QL/100). In the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon, Tolkien compared G. belon “sail” to Q. velu (GL/22), but that could be a reference to the root.
Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. veluntë “sail” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√BELU “unroll”.
