Early Quenya

mále

noun. ability

A noun form ᴱQ. mále “ability” of the verb ᴱQ. mala- “am able to (used of capacity, ability)” appeared in the English-Qenya Dictionary of the 1920s (PE15/67).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would update this to ᴺQ. polië “ability” based on the later verb pol- “be able to (physically)”, as suggested by Tamas Ferencz.
