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.
