A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “exalted, high” derived from primitive ᴹ✶khalnā “noble, exalted” based on the root ᴹ√KHAL “uplift” (Ety/KHAL²). It was an element in more emphatic N. orchal (or orchel) “superior, lofty, eminent” (EtyAC/KHAL²).
Neo-Sindarin: Based on later more prosaic translations like S. orchal “tall” (WJ/305) and Q. halla “tall” (LotR/1123), I would assume hall can meaning “of high position” both physically and socially for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, not unlike English “high”.
