An unglossed root in The Etymologies of the 1930s with the derivatives ᴹQ. norsa/N. noroth “giant”; the root was initially written as ᴹ√NOROT or ᴹ√NOROS (Ety/NOROTH; EtyAC/NOROTH). This root probably replaced the deleted entry {ᴹ√KHANKA >>} ᴹ√KHAN-AK “giant” > ᴹQ. hanako, also from The Etymologies (EtyAC/KHAN-AK). This in turn may have displaced the earliest derivation for “giant” words: ᴱ✶naχū́a > ᴱQ. nauva from The Qenya Phonology of the 1910s (PE12/10).
