ninquë

adj. "white, chill, cold, palid" WJ:417, SA:nim, PE17:168, NIK-W - spelt "ninqe" in Etym and in LT1:266, MC:213, MC:220, GL:60, pl. ninqui in Markirya. Compounded in Ninquelótë noun *"White-Flower" SA:nim, = Sindarin Nimloth, the White Tree of Númenor; ninqueruvissë "q" "white-horse-on" MC:216; this is "Qenya", read *ninqueroccossë or *ninquiroccossë in LotR-style Quenya. Normally ninquë would be expected to have the stem-form ninqui-, given the primitive form ¤ninkwi; Ninquelótë rather than *Ninquilótë must be seen as an analogical form.
