A neologism for “to follow” coined by Sami Paldanius in the VQP (VQP), derived from the root √KHIL of similar meaning. I prefer attested aphad- “follow”.
Quenya
hilya-
to follow
Sindarin
hil-
verb. to follow
aphad-
verb. to follow
A verb in the Quendi and Eldar essay from 1959-60 glossed “follow”, derived from primitive ✶ap-pata “walk behind, on a track or path” (WJ/387), with primitive pp aspirating and then becoming voiceless spirants, with ph pronounced as a long [ff].
Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had similarly formed G. obra- “follow; succeed” based on G. ob “after” (GL/62), precursor to S. ab “after”.
