Q. laurëa adj. “golden (of hue)” (Category: Gold)

Q. laurëa, adj. “golden (of hue)” (Category: Gold)
ᴱQ. aurquila “golden, sunlit”
ᴱQ. culuvoitë “golden”

An adjectival form of laurë “gold (light or colour)” (RGEO/62; PE17/61) appearing in its plural form laurië in the Namárië poem from The Lord of the Rings (LotR/377).

Conceptual Development: In the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, the adjectival form of ᴱQ. laure was ᴱQ. laurina “golden” (QL/51), but ᴱQ. laurea “golden” appeared in the English-Qenya Dictionary of the 1920s (PE15/73), and Tolkien seems to have used that form thereafter.
