Derivations
G. calon adj. “grown (of plants), budd[ing], in blade (of corn)” (Category: to Grow)
An adjective appearing as G. calon “grown (of plants), budd[ing], in blade (of corn)” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, based on the early root ᴱ√cala having to do with growth (GL/25). Initially Tolkien said this word was the equivalent of G. côl “vegetable”, but this was deleted.
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would update this word to ᴺS. galen “grown (esp. of plants)” based on the later root √GAL “grow”.
