A noun in The Etymologies of the late 1930s glossed “water-vessel” under the root ᴹ√KALPA of the same meaning (Ety/KALPA). The word ᴱQ. kalpa “bucket, vessel” also appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√KḶPḶ “hold, contains (esp. of liquids)” where Tolkien also considered and rejected another form kalpe (QL/47). The word appeared again in the Declension of Nouns of the early 1930s with the gloss “bucket” (PE21/8).
