-lka Reconstructed
suffix. *amount, quantity
A suffix for “amount” in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/108), clearly related to the prefix lak- also having to do with amounts. Tolkien added a sentence saying “To express quantity these forms are often fol[lowed] by partitive [genitive]” (PE23/108 note #102), for example: ✱umalca masto “some [indefinite] amount of bread”.
