cab-

verb. to leap, to leap, [G.] jump

A verb for “to leap” implied by the noun [gerund] cabed “leap” in names like Cabed Naeramarth “Leap of Dreadful Doom” and Cabed-en-Aras “Deer’s Leap” (S/224; UT/150).

Conceptual Development: This verb dates all the way back to the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, which had G. cab- “jump, leap” (GL/24) clearly based on the early root ᴱ√KAPA “leap, spring” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/45). The Early Qenya Phonology had ᴱN. hab- “to jump” based on a variant root ᴱ✶skap- (PE14/66), but at some point after this cab- was restored, as implied by N. cabor “frog = ✱leaper” from The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/KAP).

cabed

gerund noun. leap

Emended by Tolkien from earlier cabad. This is our sole late example that basic verbs should perhaps form their gerund in -ed, whereas derived verbs are well attested to use -ad (cf. aderthad )

kap-

verb. to leap, to leap, [ᴱQ.] jump

A verb in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from 1948 based on the root ᴹ√KAP “leap”, illustrating the conjugation of basic verbs with stems ending in p (PE22/102). Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s had ᴱQ. kap- “leap” (PE16/132, 134), and the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. kapin “I jump” under the early root ᴱ√KAPA “leap, spring” (QL/45). The survival of related Sindarin words like cabed “leap” in Tolkien’s later writings (S/224) indicate the ongoing validity of Q. cap- “leap”.

halta-

verb. to leap

A verb in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “to leap” under the early root ᴱ√HALA (QL/39). In Tolkien’s later writings √KHAL instead meant “raise up” and was the basis for words like halla “tall” (PE17/184).

kapanda

noun. jump

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. kapanda “a jump” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√KAPA “leap, spring” (QL/45).

Neo-Quenya: Since ᴹ√KAP “leap” survived in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺQ. capanda “jump” as well for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
