aha

root. know

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “know”, but most of its derivatives have to do with “mind” (QL/29). There are quite a few later roots filling this same semantic space, and this root was probably abandoned.

oto

root. knock

teŋe

root. know, understand

pete

root. *knock, hammer

An unglossed root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives like ᴱQ. penta “nose, beak (probably of such birds as woodpeckers)”, ᴱQ. pete- “knock, strike”, and ᴱQ. petl “hammer” (QL/73). Later nose, knock and hammer words were derived from other roots.

qityi

root. *knit

An unglossed root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives like ᴱQ. qity- “knit” and ᴱQ. qint “loop, stitch for knitting” (QL/78).

Neo-Eldarin: I think it worth positing a Neo-Eldarin root ᴺ√KWIT “knit” to preserve these Early Qenya words.

isi

gisi

root. *know

ŋolo

root. to know

sana Speculative

root. *know

kṇðṇ

root. shine

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s given as ᴱ√KṆŘṆ “shine” with derivatives in both Qenya and Gnomish, such as ᴱQ. kanda- “blaze”, G. cintha- “to light, set alight”, ᴱQ. kanwa “lurid”, and G. cantha “flame” (QL/47; GL/25-26). It may be a variant of ᴱ√KṚN “✱red” (QL/48). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing.

viki

root. *sticky

An unglossed root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with variants ᴱ√VIKI and ᴱ√VIT͡YI and derivatives like ᴱQ. viksa “sticky”, ᴱQ. vikte “gum”, and ᴱQ. vísi “blood” (QL/101). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing.

vityi

root. *sticky

kḷnḷ Speculative

root. *ring

A hypothetical root serving as the basis for “bell” words in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s such as ᴱQ. kilin “bell” and ᴱQ. kalon “(large) bell” (QL/46); syllabic Ḷ would help explain the vowel variations. In Tolkien’s later writings, “bell” words were derived from ᴹ√NYEL.
