pol-

verb. can, to be (physically) able to

A neologism for “can, be (physically) able”, analogous to its Quenya equivalent Q. pol-. This neologism has been in use so long that I cannot identify its origin. I would use this verb for physical capacity and would use [N.] ista- for mental capacity, as in pelin peded “I can speak (because my mouth is working)” versus istan peded “I can speak (because I know how to)”.
