ᴱQ. vildima adj. “essential, imperative” (Category: Dear, Expensive)

An adjective appearing as ᴱQ. vildima {“effectual, actual, real” >>} “essential, imperative” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s based on ᴱQ. vildi- “to matter” (QL/102). According to the editors, the last word of the revised gloss is difficult to read, and could be “important” instead of “imperative”.

Neo-Quenya: I adapt the verb form as ᴺQ. valda-, so I would adapt this adjective as ᴺQ. valdima “essential, imperative”.
