Q. talan (talam-) n. “flat space, platform” (Category: Floor)

Q. talan (talam-), n. “flat space, platform; [ᴹQ.] floor, ⚠️ground” (Category: Floor)
ᴱQ. talan “burden”
ᴱQ. tauma “basis, foundation, ground floor”
Q. talma² “flat space, platform”

A word for a “flat space, platform” in notes on Words, Phrases and Passages from the Lord of the Rings, cognate to S. talan and derived from ✶talam (PE17/52). In The Etymologies of the 1930s, ᴹQ. talan was glossed “floor, ground” under the root ᴹ√TALAM “floor, base, ground” (Ety/TALAM).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would use talan as a general word for a constructed “floor” or “platform” both with and without walls and possibly above ground level as well, but for natural “ground” I would use [ᴹQ.] hún (QL/39).
