Q. hyarna² adj. “compact” (Category: Thick (in Density))

⚠️Q. hyarna², adj. “compact, [ᴹQ.] compressed” (Category: Thick (in Density)): Q. #hyando “cleaver, [ᴹQ.] hewer (sword)”; Q. hyarna¹ “southern”; Q. sanga “press, pressure; throng, [ᴹQ.] crowd, pack; [ᴱQ.] tight mass; [ᴹQ.] crowded, packed”

A word for “compact, compressed” appearing in both the Outline of Phonetic Development (OP1) from the 1940s and the Outline of Phonology (OP2) from the early 1950s, a modern replacement of older hyanna which was the proper derivative of ancient ✶syadnā (PE19/45, 92). This word was part of a paradigm in which the root √SYAD meant “compress”, but elsewhere this root generally meant “cleave” as in Sangahyando “Throng-cleaver” (LotR/1048).
