aiqua

steep

aiqua("q")adj. "steep" (AYAK). Not to be confused with the pronoun *aiqua "if anything, whatever" that post-Tolkien writers have extrapolated from aiquen (q.v.) on the basis of such pairs as ilquen vs. ilqua (q.v.)

aiqualin

tall

aiqualin ("q")adj. "tall", plural form (???) (MC:216; this is "Qenya" - but cf. aiqua above.)

aiqua

pronoun. anything, whatever

aima

pronoun. anything, whatever

A neologism coined by Röandil for “anything, whatever” as a combination of ᴺQ. ai(a)- “any” and Q. ma “thing”, the impersonal equivalent of aiquen “(if) anybody, whoever”. In his NQNT (NQNT) Helge Fauskanger used ᴺQ. aiqua “anything, whatever” inspired by ᴹQ. ilqa “everying” based on the 1930s sense of the root ᴹ√KWA “something”, but in Tolkien’s later writings √KWA usually means “complete, full”, so I think aima is preferable.

halda

adjective. tall, tall; [ᴱQ.] wide, broad

halla

tall

halla (1) adj. "tall" (Appendix E, footnote)

halla

adjective. tall, tall, [ᴹQ.] high

The Quenya word for “tall”, also the name of the tengwa ½ used as a sign for h-aspiration (LotR/1123). This word first appeared in notes on The Feanorian Alphabet from the 1940s (PE22/51), though in a couple places Tolkien suggested an alternate form halda instead (PE17/184; PE22/103).

Conceptual Development: Early Noldorin word-lists of the 1920s had ᴱQ. {alda >>} halda as the cognate of ᴱN. {all >>} gall “wide, broad”, both derived from {ᴱ✶aldá >>} ᴱ✶ʒaldá (PE13/136, 144).
