⚠️ᴱQ. onwa, adj. “stony” (Category: Rock, Stone): ᴺQ. ^ondova “stony”

A word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s given as ᴱQ. onwa “stony”, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. on(d) “a stone” (QL/39).

Neo-Quenya: As the later word for “stony” (having the characteristics of a stone), this word should probably be adapted as ᴺQ. ondova in Neo-Quenya.
