ᴱQ. tolda n. “hill (with a flat top), hill top; town on a hill” (Category: Hill, Mountain)
A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “hill with a flat top, town on a hill” derived from the root ᴱ√TOLO (QL/94). It also appeared in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the glosses “flat hill, town on hill” (PME/94). It appeared in the modified form tolla with the sense “hill top” in various versions of the ᴱQ. Oilima Markirya poem, mostly in various inflected forms (PE16/75; MC/214, 221). There is no sign of this word thereafter.
