ola-

verb. to become

A neologism for “to become” coined by Paul Strack in 2023 specifically for Eldamo, the Sindarin derivative of ✶olā- from the early 1950s of the same meaning. Fiona Jallings proposed ᴺS. ol- instead based on late 1940s verb ᴹQ. ol- “become”, but I prefer to use ᴺS. ol- < √UL for “to pour”.
