A neologism coined by Paul Strack in 2023 specifically for Eldamo, a combination of ᴹ√MBAL “*crush” and ✶-dā “product of an action”, hence “a product of crushing”. Röandil had previously suggested malma with suffixal ma “thing”, but that could be mistaken as an instrument for crushing via instrumental ✶-mā. I prefer malda as having a cleaner derivation, and also being distinct from ᴺQ. malma “lemon”. Röandil also proposed using malma for “dough, grume” as a replacement for [ᴹQ.] makse “dough” whose meaning may have changed, but I prefer to retain this attested word for “dough”.

A word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “pulp” and derived from the early root ᴱ√MARA¹ “ripe, yellow” (QL/59).
