Q. *tolya adj. “prominent” (Category: First)

Q. *tolya, adj. “prominent, *noticeable, standing out” (Category: First)

A word for “prominent” in notes on numbers from the later 1960s, clearly based on √TOL “stand up, stick out” (VT47/16). I would use it for “prominent” in the sense “*noticeable, standing out”, as opposed to eteminya for “prominent” = “eminent, superior”.
