ᴱQ. málos n. “forest” (Category: Woods, Forest)

⚠️ᴱQ. málos, n. “forest” (Category: Woods, Forest)
Q. taurë “forest, (great) wood”

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s given as the cognate of G. goloth “forest”, derived from primitive ᴱ✶ŋgua-aloþ- (GL/41). This is likely a combination of ᴱ✶ŋu̯a “together” and some elaboration of the root ᴱ√ALA² “spread”, the basis of “tree” words, so probably originally “*together spread(ing)” or something to that effect.
