A verb appearing in notes associated with Quenya Fractions from the late 1960s, appearing as etsat or estat “distribute in even portions” based on the root √SAT “divide, apportion” (VT48/11). Likely it was originally et “out” + sat- “apportion”, with estat- being an alternate form produced by metathesis.
