Early Quenya

orva

noun. apple

A word appearing as ᴱQ. {orvea >>} orva “apple” Gnomish Lexicon Slips of the 1910s (PE13/116), the cognate of G. orf “apple” (GL/63) and G. urf “apple tree” (PE13/116). The deleted Quenya form orvea was derived from primitive ᴱ✶orbı̯a-, but Tolkien did not provide a new primitive after he revised the Quenya form (PE13/116 note #9).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. orva “apple” for purposes of Neo-Quenya since there are no later alternatives.
