The correlatives ᴹQ. malka or manalka “how much or how great” appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/108), a combination of interrogative ᴹQ. ma and ᴹQ. -lka “much”. The longer form manalka could be used to ask the age of children, but manárea is more common for that purpose (see that entry for discussion). The shorter form malka also appeared with the gloss “how great” in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from this same period (PE22/124).
