octha
noun. knee
The word G. octha “knee” appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/62), clearly a cognate of ᴱQ. okka “knee” (QL/70).
Neo-Sindarin: In the VQP (VQP), Sami Paldanius proposed adapting this word as the neologism ᴺS. ogod “knee”, by analogy with the revision of G. leptha “finger” to [N.] lhebed.

okka
noun. knee
The word ᴱQ. okka “knee” appeared the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√OQO “bend” (QL/70). The word appeared again in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/137).
Neo-Sindarin: I would retain ᴺQ. occa “knee” for purposes of Neo-Quenya as we have no better alternatives, though what its etymology would be in later conceptions of the language is unclear.
