N. gwelw n. “air (as a substance)” (Category: Air, Ether)

⚠️N. gwelw, n. “air (as a substance)” (Category: Air, Ether)
ᴺS. ^gwelu “air (as a substance)”

A noun appearing in The Etymologies of the 1930s as N. gwelw “air (as a substance)” derived from primitive ᴹ✶wilwā under the root ᴹ√WIL “fly, float in air” (Ety/WIL).

Conceptual Development: An earlier precursor is G. gwail “air” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, derived from the early root ᴱ√gu̯il (GL/45).

Neo-Sindarin: If adapted to Neo-Sindarin, this word would be ᴺS. gwelu as suggested in Hiswelókë’s Sindarin Dictionary (HSD).
