Ilk. [e]

Ilk. [e]

The vowel [e] could be short or long in Ilkorin. Non-final [e] generally survived from Primitive Elvish. Short [e] could also develop from primitive [i] before final [a], as well as from primitive [a] before following [i]. The second of these changes was important in the formation of Ilkorin plural nouns. Long [ē] also developed from primitive [ǣ].
