loa

growth

loa, noun literally "growth", used of a solar year (= coranar) when seasonal changes are considered (Appendix D; in PM:126 loa is translated "time of growth". Pl. loar, or "löar", in MR:426) The form loa is also mentioned as the hypothetical Quenya cognate of Sindarin ("swampy"), but precisely because it clashed with loa "year", this Quenya cognate was not in use (VT42:10)

olmië

noun. growth

A word for “growth” in various notes on Elvish maturation from 1959, an abstract noun based on √OL “grow” (NM/84, 119). More specifically, it referred to the early period or process of life where one was actively growing, as opposed to later life after one had reached maturity: coivië.

olaste

noun. growth

A noun appearing as ᴹQ. {alaste >>} olaste “growth” in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) of 1948 as a combination of {ala- >>} ᴹQ. ola- “grow” with the general action suffix ᴹQ. -ste (PE22/110).

Neo-Quenya: Since Tolkien revised the general action suffix to -sta a few years later, I would update this noun to ᴺQ. olasta “growth” for purposes of Neo-Quenya. I would use this word for “growth” in general, both physical and metaphorical, as opposed to olmië as the period or process of life where one is growing.
