ᴺQ. !lapselunga adj. “pregnant, (lit.) baby-heavy” (Category: Pregnant)

ᴺQ. !lapselunga, adj. “pregnant, (lit.) baby-heavy” [created by ABNW] (Category: Pregnant)

A neologism for “pregnant” appearing in Ales Bican’s New Words (ABNW) from the early 2000s, a combination of [ᴹQ.] lapse “baby” and [ᴹQ.] lunga “heavy”, so literally “*baby-heavy”. In his Neo-Quenya New Testament (NQNT), Helge Fauskanger instead used ᴺQ. lapsarwa with final element [ᴹQ.] arwa “having, possessing” (so = “*baby-having”), but I prefer lapselunga as more evocative.
