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.

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 lô ("swampy"), but precisely because it clashed with loa "year", this Quenya cognate was not in use (VT42:10)
