Q. cólima adj. “bearable, light (of burdens and things comparable, troubles, labors, afflications)” (Category: Light, Nimble)

Q. cólima, adj. “bearable, light (of burdens and things comparable, troubles, labors, afflications)” (Category: Light, Nimble)
ᴺQ. !alalunga “light, unheavy”

A word whose base meaning is “bearable”, a verbal adjective that is a combination of col- “bear” with the suffix -ima “-able” (PE22/155). By extension, the adjective also means “light [easy to bear]”, applicable both physically to things like burdens and metaphorically to things like troubles, labors, afflications, etc.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I assume that things that are difficult to bear would require an additional prefix such as hraicólima “hard to bear”; compare hraicénima “hard to see”.
