A word for “shoe” in The Etymologies of the late 1930s derived from primitive ᴹ✶skyapat- under the root ᴹ√SKYAP (Ety/SKYAP). In The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road, the gloss was “shore” (LR/386), but Vinyar Tengwar Errata confirmed the actual gloss was “shoe” (VTE for issue 46).
Conceptual Development: ᴱQ. hyapa “shoe” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SAYAPA (QL/82) and in the contemporaneous Qenya Phonology where it was derived from ᴱ√saẏap- (PE12/26). The word hyapa “shoe” reappeared in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/144) and again in the Declension of Nouns from the early 1930s (PE21/8).
