ᴱQ. nelt n. “corner (from outside)” (Category: Angle, Corner)

A word appearing as ᴱQ. nelt “corner (from outside)” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√NELE “point” (QL/65).

Neo-Quenya: In Tolkien’s later writings √NEL meant “three”, but I think this early word might be adapted as ᴺQ. neltë “corner” in reference to [ᴹQ.] neltil “triangle” (Ety/NEL).
