mahte
noun. hold, grip, power, possession
makte
noun. hold, grip, power, possession
A word appearing as ᴱQ. makte “hold, grip, power, possession” in the Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√MAHA “grasp” (QL/57). It had a stem form maksi-, the result of the sound change whereby [[eq|[ti] became [si]]]. Beside it Tolkien wrote hte, probably indicating an alternate form [ma]hte as suggested by the editors. Elsewhere in the same entry, ᴱQ. makte was glossed “hand”, but that use was marked as archaic (†) and was apparently supplanted by ᴱQ. mā “hand” (which remained the normal Quenya “hand” word for the rest of Tolkien’s life).
Neo-Quenya: Since √MAH survived in Tolkien’s later writings as the basic for hand words, I would retain ᴺQ. mahtë for purposes of Neo-Quenya with the primary sense “hold, grip, ✱grasp”, metaphorically also “power [over], possession”.
