Derivations

< √PAL “wide, broad, extended”

ᴱQ. paluva adj. “even, flat, level” (Category: Flat)

An adjective appearing as ᴱQ. paluva, palwa, palanka, palanta in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, glossed “even, flat, level” and based on the early root ᴱ√PALA having to do with flat things (QL/71).

Neo-Quenya: Since √PAL continued to be used for wide and flat things in Tolkien’s later writing, I would retain ᴺQ. palwa “even, level, flat” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
