ᴱQ. hessa adj. “dead, withered” (Category: to Spoil)

An adjective appearing as ᴱQ. hessa “dead, withered” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√HESE “wither” (QL/40).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. hessa “withered” for purposes of Neo-Quenya derived from the Neo-Root ᴺ√KHES, but would use other words for “dead” like firin or qualin.
