haura

adjective. huge

An adjective for “huge” derived from the root √KHAWA in a page of notes having to do with “large & small” words, probably from the late 1960s (PE17/115).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would use the related word höa “big, large”, but I would not use haura “huge” as there are better words of similar meaning.

polda

adjective. big, big; [ᴹQ.] strong, burly; [ᴱQ.] mighty, powerful

An adjective for “big” derived from √pol “large, big (strong)” in a page of notes having to do with “large & small” roots, probably from the late 1960s (PE17/115). Another note from the same period had deleted forms polda, polya, also meaning “big” (PE17/115). The Etymologies of the 1930s had ᴹQ. polda “strong, burly” derived from the root ᴹ√POL(OD) “physically strong” (Ety/POL). Early Qenya word-lists of the 1920s had ᴱQ. polda “mighty, powerful” along side ᴱQ. poldórea “powerful” (PE16/137), while the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. poldorea “muscular” under the early root ᴱ√POLO “have strength” (QL/75).

Neo-Quenya: For most of Tolkien’s life, the root √POL was connected to physical ability and strength, so for purposes of Neo-Quenya I would assume polda means someone that is both “big and strong” simultaneously, with “burly” being a single English word that approximates its meaning.
