eitha-

verb. to prick with a sharp point, stab; to treat with scorn, insult

A verb mentioned in the Quendi and Eldar essay from 1959-60 with the basic meaning “prick with a sharp point, stab”, but also used to mean “treat with scorn, insult, often with reference to rejection or dismissal” (WJ/365). It was derived from ✶ek-tā based on the root √eke “sharp point”.

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. aitha- “prick, sting” related to G. aith “thorn”, both derived from the early root ᴱ√EKE (GL/18). Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s instead had ᴱN. eithra- “to prick, stab” (PE13/143, 158).
