Eldamo : Quenya : náha

Q. náha adj. “narrow” (Category: Narrow)

Q. náha, adj. “narrow, *thin” (Category: Narrow): ᴱQ. fingwa “narrow”; ᴱQ. colwa “narrow, thin”; ᴱQ. lenwa “long and thin, straight, narrow”

An adjective for “narrow” in 1964 notes on Dalath Dirnen (DD) derived from √NAKH “narrow, thin” (PE17/166).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would assume this adjective can also mean “*thin” of things given the meaning of its root. Compare also fimbë “slender, *thin”.
