A noun appearing as ᴱQ. aiqale “a steep [thing], steepness” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an abstract noun form of ᴱQ. aiqa “steep” appearing nearby (QL/29). Since ᴹQ. aiqa “steep” continued to appear in Tolkien’s later writings (Ety/AYAK), perhaps this word can be salvaged for Neo-Quenya writing as ᴺQ. aiqualë.
