Valarin word part 12/?

i havent worked on my Valarin conlang in months so I'm rusty but my dear @helenvader asked me for a Valarin word for the imperative "Heal".

No surprising it is that you do not find any early root for such a word, and it makes sense in-universe wise:

in a perfect world - that is in a world Unmarred the concept of healing would not need to exist. I tried a few variant but ultimately decided to go back to the closest word we have for such concept and lo and behold, we do have something to use in official Valarin.

-> Amanaišāl = Unmarred

now all i did was to append the early primitive √NĀ root (the copula for "to be / exist"). Nā or Á na in its imperative form.

so we can have something like 'Be Unmarred' for the literal translation of Heal! in its imperative form.

-> Á nāmanaišāl

fun facts:

early primitive elvish has the root √ŊAHYA (with a 'ŋaı̯' variation) meaning : hurt, grieve that you can find in Amanaišāl under its variant form. It might be coincidences since the Valarin word for marred is Dušamanūðān which share no similarities. Go figure.
