Neilei
Stage Modern CLT
Pronunciation /ˈneɪleɪ/
Part of speech Verb
Etymology from Middle Nelē

Neilei — to kneel. The command, and the posture itself.

Notes

Down on both knees, back straight, hands folded in the lap with one resting on the other. Still.

The kneeling counterpart of Elyr and read the same way. Nothing is being shown and nothing is being offered. She is settled and she is waiting. Has a display register in the salon cities: the same posture with the back a little arched, the palms turned up on the thighs and the chin lifted. Harder to hold than it looks, which is how a salon tells who has been drilled.
