A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s given as ᴱ√ᴵLTᴵL and glossed “thrust in”, with derivatives ᴱQ. ilt “a dig or stab” and ᴱQ. iltin “I thrust home” (QL/42). It also had a derivative in the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon: G. ilta- “to stick in, prod, prick” (GL/51). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing.
