Gnomish

blant

adjective. flat, open, expansive; candid, blunt (of words)

An adjective in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as G. blant with the glosses “flat, open, expansive; candid, blunt (of words)” (GL/19), apparently based on (a variant of?) the early root ᴱ√PALA having to do with flat things (QL/71).

Neo-Sindarin: Since √PAL continued to be used for wide and flat things in Tolkien’s later writing, I would retain but adapt this word as ᴺS. plant “flat, open, expansive; candid, blunt (of words)” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin.
