⚠️Q. talma², n. “flat space, platform” (Category: Floor): Q. talan “flat space, platform; [ᴹQ.] floor, ⚠️ground”

A variant of talan (talam-) “flat space, platform” in notes on Words, Phrases and Passages from the Lord of the Rings (PE17/52).

Neo-Quenya: I would not use this word for this purpose in Neo-Quenya, since elsewhere talma was used for “basis, base, foundation, root” (PE21/80; Ety/TAL).
