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 Quenya

lat

noun. flap, small hinged door, lid

A word appearing as ᴱQ. lat (latt-) “flap, small hinged door, lid” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, which Tolkien considered deriving from the early root ᴱ√LAPA “enfold” (QL/51).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I think this word can be salvaged as ᴺQ. lat (latt-) derived from the later root √LAT “open”, perhaps from primitive lattă with an original sense “opening”.
