⚠️ᴱQ. #vildi-, v. “to matter; to be of significance, worth, moment” (Category: Dear, Expensive): ᴺQ. ^valda- “to matter; to be of significance, worth, moment”

An (impersonal?) verb appearing as ᴱQ. vildin “it matters, is of significance, worth, moment” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√VḶŘḶ [VḶÐḶ] (QL/102).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would adapt this verb as ᴺQ. valda- “to matter; to be of significance, worth, moment” based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√BALAD.
