Q. túra adj. “big, great” (Category: Big, Large, Great)

Q. túra, adj. “great [in power or majesty], ⚠️big” (Category: Big, Large, Great)

A word for “big, great” derived from the root √TUR “strong, mighty, in power” in a page of notes having to do with “large & small” words, probably from the late 1960s (PE17/115).

Neo-Quenya: The use of this word to mean “big” in size seems out of step with the most common meanings of this root and its other derivatives. For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would use it only to mean “great [in power or majesty]”.
