Q. yulma n. “cup, drinking vessel, drinking implement, goblet” (Category: Cup)

Q. yulma, n. “cup, drinking vessel, drinking implement, ⚠️goblet” (Category: Cup)
ᴹQ. sungwa “drinking-vessel”
ᴹQ. yulma “brand”

A word for “cup” in the Namárië “poem” (LotR/377). Elsewhere Tolkien specified it was a more general term for a “drinking vessel” or “drinking implement”, a derivative of ✶yulmā = √YUL + ✶-mā and hence more literally “a thing used in drinking” (PE17/63, 68, 135; WJ/416).
