ᴱQ. lilt n. “dance” (Category: to Dance)
A noun appearing in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s as ᴱQ. lilt “a dance” based on the early root ᴱ√LḶTḶ (QL/55), where short syllabic [ḷ] became [il] (PE12/11). In the English-Qenya Dictionary of the 1920s, the noun form was lalta, probably with long syllabic [ḹ] becoming [al] (PE15/71).
Neo-Quenya: I would adapt this noun as ᴺQ. liltë “dance”, based on the later root ᴹ√LILT “dance” (Ety/LILT).
