ᴺQ. !nalumë adv. “sometime(s)” (Category: Sometimes)

⚠️ᴺQ. !nalumë, adv. “sometime(s)” [created by Lokyt] (Category: Sometimes): ᴹQ. umallumë “some time, *sometime”

Prior to the publication of [ᴹQ.] umallume “some time” in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948, various neologism for the word “sometime(s)” were coined: nalumë, ailumë, malumë², and lúmelissen. The first three are combinations of lúmë “time”, and I would not use them now that we have umallume. However I think [ᴺQ.] lúmelissen remains valid for (plural) “sometimes = at [some] times”.
