ᴺQ. !umallë adv. “somehow, in some way” (Category: Some, Several)

ᴺQ. !umallë, adv. “somehow, in some way” [created by Paul Strack] (Category: Some, Several)
See ᴹQ. umalde for discussion.

Elements

ᴹQ. uma- “some, a, a certain”
Q. *-llë⁴ “like, in the same way/manner”

ᴹQ. umalde adv. “somehow, *in some way” (Category: Some, Several)

The correlative ᴹQ. umalde “somehow” appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/111), a combination of ᴹQ. uma- “some” and ᴹQ. -l(de) “way”, so more literally “*in some way”.

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. umallë “somehow, in some way” using the later suffix Q. -llë.
