A word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with variations alaswa, alakse, alaska glossed “like marble”, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. alas (alast-) “marble” (QL/30).
Neo-Quenya: I see no straightforward way of adapting any of these forms to Neo-Quenya, so I stick to ᴺQ. alasta as the adjectival form of “marble” instead.
A noun appearing as ᴱQ. alas (alast-) “marble” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from primitive ᴱ✶ʒalast- (QL/30).
Neo-Quenya: I think this word may be salvageable in Neo-Quenya as ᴺQ. alas, reconceived as a derivative of ᴹ√GALAS “joy, be glad”, perhaps from ᴺ✶galast- originally with the sense “thing pleasant to touch”.
