loar

(golden) blossom

loar noun "(golden) blossom" (not to be confused with the pl. form of loa). Also lávar. (PE17:159)

löar

noun. (golden) blossom

loa

growth

loa, noun literally "growth", used of a solar year (= coranar) when seasonal changes are considered (Appendix D; in PM:126 loa is translated "time of growth". Pl. loar, or "löar", in MR:426) The form loa is also mentioned as the hypothetical Quenya cognate of Sindarin ("swampy"), but precisely because it clashed with loa "year", this Quenya cognate was not in use (VT42:10)

löa

noun. (seasonal) year, (lit.) (time of) growth, blooming

lávar

noun. (golden) blossom

A word in notes from the 1960s for a “(golden) blossom” with variants löar and lávar, both based on the √LAWAR having to with the colour “gold” (PE17/159). The element ᴹQ. lavar also appeared as an element in the name for a Númenorean tree ᴹQ. lavaralda in stories from the 1930s which Tolkien described as having “long green leaves [that] were golden on the undersides” and whose “flowers were pale with a yellow flush” (LR/57-68). For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would use lávar for “(golden) blossom”, since that form is more distinctive.

lavaralda

(golden) blossom

lavaralda (changed by Tolkien from lavarin) noun some kind of tree (alda) (LR:57). The initial element lavar- seems to connect with the root LAWAR having to do with golden colour; cf. lávar "(golden) blossom" (PE17:159).

lávar

(golden) blossom

lávar noun "(golden) blossom". Also loa. (PE17:159)

olmië

noun. growth

A word for “growth” in various notes on Elvish maturation from 1959, an abstract noun based on √OL “grow” (NM/84, 119). More specifically, it referred to the early period or process of life where one was actively growing, as opposed to later life after one had reached maturity: coivië.

olaste

noun. growth

A noun appearing as ᴹQ. {alaste >>} olaste “growth” in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) of 1948 as a combination of {ala- >>} ᴹQ. ola- “grow” with the general action suffix ᴹQ. -ste (PE22/110).

Neo-Quenya: Since Tolkien revised the general action suffix to -sta a few years later, I would update this noun to ᴺQ. olasta “growth” for purposes of Neo-Quenya. I would use this word for “growth” in general, both physical and metaphorical, as opposed to olmië as the period or process of life where one is growing.
