⚠️ᴱQ. pilinquasilla, n. “nodding plume” (Category: Feather): ᴹQ. lúpë “plume”; Q. pilinehtar “a reed-like plant, (lit.) ?arrow thorn”

A word for a “nodding plume” in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱQ. pilin “feather” and ᴱQ. qasilla “tuft, nodding spray, tassel, plume” (QL/74, 76; PME/74). It perhaps described a type of plant, as an earlier iteration of Q. pilinehtar.
