Eldamo : Middle Quenya : semellume

ᴹQ. semellume adv. “*a few times” (Category: Few, Little)

ᴹQ. semellumë, adv. “*a few times, seldom” (Category: Few, Little): ᴹQ. seman(an) “seldom, on few occasions”

The correlative combinations semellume or sempallume appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/110), a combination of ᴹQ. sem(p)- “few” and ᴹQ. -llume “time(s)”.

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would also use semellume to mean “seldom” to replace (probably abandoned) seman(an).
