There are more words but they are from Tolkien's earlier conceptional periods. Tolkien likely changed these words as he evolved the aesthetics and completeness of the languages. You may even find languages that Tolkien later rejected. Do not mix words from different time periods unless you are familiar with the phonetic developments.

Below: Tolkien's Late Period (1950–1973). These are from Tolkien's late conceptual period — his most settled forms of the languages. Prefer these over the earlier ones above when composing new text.
A verb appearing as ᴱQ. lapa- “wrap, swathe, wind” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√LAPA “enfold” (QL/51).
Neo-Quenya: The root √LAP reappeared in Tolkien’s later writings with similar glosses “fold, bend” (VT47/35), so I would retain ᴺQ. lapa- “to wrap, swathe, wind” for purposes of Neo-Quenya. In 2024 at the suggestion of Arael and Luinyelle, I adjusted the “neo-form” of this verb from basic verb ᴺQ. lap- to a-verb ᴺQ. lapa- to avoid conflict with their neologism ᴺQ. lap- “fold”.
