Variations
- talaite ✧ QL/088
- talanoite ✧ QL/088
An adjective appearing as talaite or talanoite “footed” in the Qenya Lexicon, an elaboration of ᴱQ. tala “foot” (QL/88).
Neo-Quenya: Since -itë remains an adjective suffix in Tolkien’s later conception of the language, I think ᴺQ. talaitë “footed” can be retained for purposes of Neo-Quenya, analogous to Q. maitë “handed”.
