bald

adjective. *worthy

cafol

adjective. bald

cafalon

adjective. bald, *(lit.) head-naked

bâl

adjective. worthy, important; great, mighty

An adjective appearing as G. {bald >>} bâl “worthy, important; great, mighty” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on the early root ᴱ√vḷd (GL/21).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would adapt this as ᴺS. ball “worthy, important” to be equivalent ᴱQ. valda, as originally suggested by Elaran in a 2018-08-03 post to the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS). I would not use this word for “great, might”, however.
