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!
An unglossed root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with the derivatives ᴱQ. lepsa “liver” and ᴱQ. elwen “heart” (QL/52). The Gnomish equivalent of the elwen “heart” was G. elf, revised to G. ilf (GL/32, 50). Tolkien used other words for “heart” in his later writings, but I think it is worth positing a root ᴺ√LEPH “liver” for purposes of Neo-Eldarin to retain ᴱQ. lepsa “liver”.
