An adjective appearing as olorda in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with the gloss “in dreams” under the root ᴱ√LORO (QL/56) and the gloss “dreamy, drowsy” under the root ᴱ√OLOR (QL/69). Under ᴱ√LORO it had the alternate form olorwa.
Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. olorda “dreamy, drowsy; in dreams” for purposes Neo-Quenya, as its roots survived in later Quenya and were still associated with sleep and dreams.
