S. celeg adj. “*hasty” (Category: Fast, Swift, Quick)

S. celeg, adj. “hasty; [N.] agile, swift; ⚠️[ᴱN.] lambent” (Category: Fast, Swift, Quick)

An element in the name Celegorm, translated as “hasty” and derived from ✶k[y]elekā in notes from the late 1960s, cognate to Q. tyelca (VT41/10). N. celeg also appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s with cognate ᴹQ. tyelka, both derived from the root ᴹ√KYELEK “swift, agile” and so presumably with the same meaning (Ety/KYELEK).

Conceptual Development: The word ᴱN. celeg appeared previously in the name ᴱN. Celeg Aithorn from the Lays of Beleriand of the 1920s which might mean “Lambent Lightning” (LB/45).
