ᴱQ. qilya- v. “to adorn, embellish, colour” (Category: Color)

A word appearing as ᴱQ. qilya- “adorn, embellish, colour” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√QILI¹ (QL/77).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. quilya- in the senses “to colour, embellish” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but for “adorn” I would use the later verb netya- (VT47/33). In the “Neologism of the Day” (NotD) series on the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server on 2023-04-30, Luinyelle suggested ᴺQ. quilya- might also be used as the verb for “*to paint”.
