mól noun "slave, thrall" (MŌ, VT43:31)
Quenya
mól
noun. slave, slave, [ᴹQ.] thrall
mól
slave, thrall
mol-
labour
mol- vb. "labour" (a form mólë also listed is presumably the pa.t. though it could also be "labour" as a noun) (PE17:115)
mol-
verb. to labour
molda
adjective. big, large
mólë
noun. labour, *work
A form appearing as mōle after the verb mol- “labour” in notes on “large & small” words, probably from the late 1960s (PE17/115). The section where these words appeared was deleted. The form mōle might be a noun, or might be the past tense of the verb = “worked”.
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I assume ᴺQ. mólë is a noun meaning “labour, ✱work”. Helge Fauskanger instead used ᴺQ. molië “labour, work” in his NQNT (NQNT), but I think that is too similar to ᴺQ. mólië “slavery”. Petri Tikka coined ᴺQ. tarassë “labour” in PPQ (PPQ) from the early 2000s as a cognate of [N.] tass “labour, task”, but since the root meaning was “trouble” I think it is unlikely the Quenya word would have the same meaning as in Noldorin/Sindarin, and thus I prefer ᴺQ. tassa “trouble” as the cognate.
moleculë

molindo

molië

molta-
verb. "to enslave, enthrall"

noldarë noun "mole"; also nolpa (GL:30)
nolpa
mole
nolpa "mole"; also noldarë (GL:30)
nolpa
noun. mole
mótaro
noun. worker
A neologism for “worker” coined by Sami Paldanius in the 1000W project (1000W) as a combination of [ᴹQ.] móta- “to labour” and the agental suffix -r(o). Helge Fauskanger used ᴺQ. molindo “worker” in his NQNT (NQNT), an agental form of the later verb mol- “labour”, but since the section where that verb appeared was rejected, I prefer Paldanius’s neologism.
málimë
noun. wrist, (lit.) hand-link
A word for “wrist” in notes on Eldarin Hands, Fingers and Numerals from the late 1960s, a combination of má “hand” and limë “link”, hence “(lit.) hand-link” (VT47/6).
Conceptual Development: There was a similar word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s: ᴱQ. marikta “wrist”, a combination of suffixal ᴱQ. má “hand(s)” and some derivative of the early root ᴱ√RIKI “✱twist” (QL/57, 80), perhaps “✱hand-joint”.

höa
adjective. big, large
@@@ used in NQNT
moia-

málimë

málimë (stem *málimi-, given primitive form ¤mā-limi) noun "wrist", literally "hand-link" (má + #limë). (VT47:6)
móta-
labour, toil
móta- noun "labour, toil" (MŌ)
polda
big
polda adj. "big" (PE17:115), "strong, burly" (POL/POLOD)
polda
adjective. big, big; [ᴹQ.] strong, burly; [ᴱQ.] mighty, powerful
túra
big, great
túra adj. "big, great" (PE17:115), related to words for power and apparently referring to a more abstract greatness than words like haura "huge". Cf. taura, túrëa. Apparently initial element of Túrosto.
mulmanen
noun. mill
tarassë
noun. labour
A noun meaning “slave” or “thrall”, from primitive ✶mōl derived from the root √MŌ having to do with “labour” (VT43/31; Ety/MŌ).
Conceptual Development: In the Qenya Lexicon from the 1910s the word for “slave” or “servant” was ᴱQ. virt or vartyo, derived from the root ᴱ√VṚTYṚ “serve” (QL/102). In the two variants, either the [[eq|short syllabic [ṛ] became [ir] before palatalized [tʲ]]], or [[eq|long syllabic [ṝ] became [ar]]]. This word appeared as an element in the name ᴱQ. Virtinoldor “Thrall-Noldoli” for those Noldor enslaved by Melko(r) in the early tales (PE14/9).
In the Gnomish Lexicon from the same period, another Qenya word for “slave” or “servant” was given as ᴱQ. norka derived from primitive ᴱ✶norokā́ (GL/31), though its relationship to other roots is unclear.
The form ᴹQ. mól first appeared in The Etymologies from the 1930s, already having the derivation given above (Ety/MŌ). This word also appeared in Tolkien’s later writings from the 1950s (VT43/31). A later term for "Slave Noldorin” was ᴹQ. Mólanoldorin (Ety/MŌ; LR/177), a strong indication that mól replaced Early Qenya virt.
