ᴺQ. !semítë adj. “of few kinds, of few sorts” (Category: Few, Little)

ᴺQ. !semítë, adj. “of few kinds, of few sorts” [created by Paul Strack] (Category: Few, Little)
See ᴹQ. sempina for discussion.

Elements

ᴹQ. sem(p)- “few, little, not many, not much”
Q. -itë “adjectival ending; [with verbs] capable of doing, generally (and naturally) doing”

ᴹQ. sempina adj. “of few sorts” (Category: Few, Little)

The correlative ᴹQ. sempina “of few sorts” appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/107), a combination of ᴹQ. sem(p)- “few” and ᴹQ. -ima “sorts”.

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. semellë “of few kinds, of few sorts” using the later suffix -itë, as in taitë “of that sort”.
