Eldamo : Middle Quenya : filet

ᴹQ. filet (filek-) n. “cobweb” (Category: Spider)

⚠️ᴹQ. filet (filec-), n. “cobweb” (Category: Spider): ᴹQ. línë “cobweb; [ᴱQ.] cotton, ⚠️thread”

A word in in the Declension of Nouns of the early 1930s glossed {“fern” >>} “cobweb” (PE21/33 and note #3). Its initial gloss was probably a later iteration of ᴱQ. filqe “fern” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/38), and in later writings filit (filik-) was a word for “small bird, sparrow” (Ety/PHILIK; PE21/56), so this was likely a transient form.
