halla
adjective. tall, tall, [ᴹQ.] high
The Quenya word for “tall”, also the name of the tengwa ½ used as a sign for h-aspiration (LotR/1123). This word first appeared in notes on the The Feanorian Alphabet from the 1940s (PE22/51), though in a couple places Tolkien suggested an alternate form halda instead (PE17/184; PE22/103).
Conceptual Development: Early Noldorin word-lists of the 1920s had ᴱQ. {alda >>} halda as the cognate of ᴱN. {all >>} gall “wide, broad”, both derived from {ᴱ✶aldá >>} ᴱ✶ʒaldá (PE13/136, 144).
