ᴱQ. pulu- v. “to swell (intr.)” (Category: Thick (in Dimension))

The verb ᴱQ. pulu- “swell (intr.)” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√PULU of the same meaning (QL/75).

Neo-Quenya: I retain ᴺ√PUL “swell” as a root for purposes of Neo-Eldarin, so I would retain ᴺQ. pulu- for “swell” as well. Helge Fauskanger treated pulu- as a u-verb in his Neo-Quenya New Testament (NQNT) and I also follow this pattern. I would use this verb for “swell without notion of fatness” such as for a swelling balloon or rising bread, as opposed to ᴹQ. tiuya- “swell, grow fat”.
