Q. oialë adv. “forever, everlastingly, eternally, in eternity” (Category: Eternity)
A word variously glossed “forever” (RGEO/58), “everlastingly” (PE17/73-74), or “eternally” (PE17/59), an adverbial form of oia(la) “everlasting”.
Conceptual Development: In The Etymologies of the 1930s ᴹQ. oiale was apparently a noun glossed “everlasting (age?)” under the root ᴹ√OY¹ “ever, eternal” (Ety/OY), replacing ᴹQ. iale under the (rejected) root ᴹ√GEY “ever, eternal” (Ety/GEY).
