ᴱQ. kalas (kalass-) n. “brass” (Category: Copper, Bronze)

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. kalas (kalass-) “brass” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√KALA¹ “shine golden” (QL/44).

Neo-Quenya: Since the root √KAL survives in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺQ. calas (calass-) “brass” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
