maica (sharp), terevë (fine, acute), laica (keen, sharp, acute). (The printed Etymologies has a final –e instead of –a, but according to VT45:25 this is a misreading. A word laike = laicë does appear in the source, but this is the noun corresponding to laica: "acuteness, keenness of perception". The conceptual validity of both laica and laicë with these meanings may however be questioned, since laica is the adjective "green" in later sources: laicë would then be expected to mean *"greenness".)
