ᴱQ. palis(te) n. “sward, green, lawn” (Category: Yard, Court)

A word appearing as ᴱQ. palis (palist-) or paliste “sward, green, lawn” in the Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√PALA (QL/71).

Neo-Quenya: Since the root √PAL survived in Tolkien’s later writings with a similar sense, I think ᴺQ. palis (palist-) “sward, green, lawn” can be retained for purposes of Neo-Quenya. Boris Shapiro instead suggested the neologism ᴺQ. paswa “sward” in Parma Penyanë Quettaron (PPQ) from the early 2000s, derived from ᴹ✶pathmā, but I prefer to use an attested word.
