Early Primitive Elvish

ẏaka

root. a head of cattle

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s given as ᴱ√Ẏak “a head of cattle”, with derivatives ᴱQ. yak(k)o “ox” and ᴱQ. yaksi “cow” (QL/105). In the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon it had derivatives G. gach “a milch cow” and G. gagron “a yoke ox, bullock” (GL/38). I think it is worth positing a Neo-Root ᴺ√GYAK “cattle” to salvage these early words.
