Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Early Primitive Elvish

haka Speculative

root. *squat

A hypothetical root explaining words in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s such as ᴱQ. haka- “squat”, G. hag- “sit, sit down” and ᴱQ. hakka/G. hacha “the hams, buttocks” (GL/47). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing, but I think it is useful to hypothesize a Neo-Eldarin root ᴺ√KHAK to let us salvage some of these early words.
