pad
track
pad-
verb. to step, walk
A verb in Words, Phrases and Passages from the Lord of the Rings (WPP) from the late 1950s or early 1960s, with glosses “step” and “walk” (PE17/34). In one place pad- “step” was contrasted with longer padra- “walk” from the same root.
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would primarily use pad- for “step” and padra- for “walk”.

pâd
noun. a step; track, road; ford, a step; track, road, [N.] way; ford
A word for a “track, road”, more specifically used “only of ‘roads’ or tracks unpaved in open country”, derived from ✶pat(a) of similar meaning (PE17/34). Tolkien said it could also mean “ford”. It was most notably used as an element in the name Tharbad “Crossway” (Ety/THAR) or “Road-crossing” (RC/15). In an unfinished note Tolkien translated pâd as “a step (action)” (PE17/34); in this note and elsewhere the root √PAT was associated with various verbs having to do with walking, such as S. padra- “walk” (PE17/34) and S. aphad- “follow, (orig.) walk behind” (WJ/387).
Conceptual Development: The name N. Thar-bad appeared in an entry added later to The Etymologies of the 1930s with a hard-to-read gloss, possibly “?Crossway” (Ety/THAR). It is possible this earlier appearance actually contained N. bâd “beaten track, pathway” < ᴹ√BAT “tread” (Ety/BAT). G. pad appeared (untranslated) in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s derived from ᴱ√pat-, along with G. padra- “walk” (GL/63).
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would assume the primary meaning of pâd is “a step”, but it could mean “[series of] steps = track, road, way” in compounds like Tharbad. However, I would not use pâd for “ford”; for that I would using the better-attested athrad.

Conceptual Development: Earlier “bark” words include G. padhwen “bark” (GL/63) and G. dafros “bark, skin, peel” (GL/29) from the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, G. {daus >>} dâf “bark” in Gnomish Lexicon Slips (PE13/112), and ᴱN. {gwath “bark” >>} gwadh “bark, skin, peel” in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s (PE13/146).
ledil
noun. key
A neologism for “key” coined by Paul Strack in 2020 based on the root √LAT “open” and inspired by the neologism ᴺQ. latil (NQNT), with the suggestion of i-mutation from Elaran by analogy with S. megil “sword” vs. Q. macil. Sami Paldanius instead suggested ᴺS. padol based on the root ᴹ√PAT in VQP (VQP).

pata-
verb. to walk, to walk, *stroll; [ᴱQ.] to rap, tap (of feet)
A verb appearing in notes on Words, Phrases and Passages from the Lord of the Rings glossed “walk”, equivalent to S. pad- of similar meaning (PE17/34).
Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. pata- “to rap, tap (of feet)”, derived from the early root ᴱ√PATA which mostly had to do with rattling and clattering, but it did have a derivative ᴱQ. patinka “shoe, slipper” having to do with feet (QL/72).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would interpret this verb to mean “continuously stepping”, so meaning “walk” when moving forward but also “rap, tap (of feet)” when standing still. For clarity the second meaning may include a reference to “feet”, as in i elda patane talya “the elf rapped/tapped his/her foot”. As for the sense “walk”, I would use pata- mainly in the sense of a casual walk = “✱stroll”. For a longer, more serious walk I would use [ᴹQ.] vanta- “walk, ✱trudge, trek”.

ratta
noun. track
A noun for a “track” appearing in a 1968 essay, which Tolkien described as follows:
> Both Quenya and Lindarin [Telerin] also possessed a word ratta, which might be a derivative (by lengthening the medial consonant, a frequent device in Primitive Eldarin) from either ✱rattha [from RATH “climb”] or ✱ratta from the stem RAT [“find a way”] and in senses seems to be a blend of both. It meant ‘a track’; though often applied to ways known to mountaineers, to passes in the mountains and the climbing ways to them, it was not confined to ascents. It could be used of tracks across a marshland, or trails (blazed or sometimes marked by guide-stones) in forests (NM/363).
Thus Q./T. ratta seems to have applied to any “track” through the wilderness (not necessarily one that climbs) as a derivative of √RAT “find a way”, as opposed to S. rath “(climbing) track or street” that was more influenced by √RATH “climb”; see that entry for discussion.

An unglossed root appearing in the second version of Tengwesta Qenderinwa (TQ2) as an etymological variation of √PUT (PE18/90).
sal
root. [unglossed], *harp(ing), lyre
The unglossed root ᴱ√SALA appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives like ᴱQ. salma “lyre, small harp” and ᴱQ. salumbe “harping, music” (QL/81). The root √SAL appeared again Common Eldarin: Verb Structure from the early 1950s to illustrate the reformed perfect form of its verb Q. asálie (PE22/132), but since these later forms are unglossed it is unclear whether they have the same meaning (“✱harp(ing)”) as the earlier version of the root.
stuk
root. [unglossed]
tig
root. [unglossed]
A root appearing in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969 as the basis for the verb Q. tinga- “go (for a long while)” (PE22/157). The etymology was marked with an “X” and so was probably a transient idea (PE22/157 note #70).
graw Reconstructed
root. [unglossed], [ᴹ√] dark, swart
This root appeared as a primitive form grawa serving as the basis of the word Q. roa “bear” >> “dog” in notes on monosyllabic roots from 1968 (VT47/35); a Sindarin derivative S. graw “bear” appeared in other notes written around the same time (VT47/12). Patrick Wynne suggested that in the sense “bear” grawa might be connected to the root ᴹ√GRAWA “dark, swart” from The Etymologies of the 1930s (EtyAC/GRAWA).
bark
bark
Root *B-R-K It is possible that "baruk" is also a genitive case, meaning "axes of <something>" rather than just "axes". The phrase "baruk Khazâd" can be compared to a "construct pair" in Semitic languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic.

A noun for “bark” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/63), apparently based on the early root ᴱ√PARA [PAÐA?] which might mean “peel” (QL/72).
padhra-
verb. to skin, peel, flay

tôdhi
noun. paddock
A word appearing as G. tôdhi {“fringe” >>} “paddock” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on ᴱ√tadh- (GL/71), probably from ancient ✱tāðī since [[g|[ā] became [ō]]] in Gnomish.
Neo-Sindarin: I would adapt this word as ᴺS. tódhi “paddock” based on the Neo-Root ᴺ√TAD “enclosure”, because while [[os|[ā] became [au]]] in Sindarin, it later [[s|become [ō] or [o]]] in polysyllables. I would assume the final -i was the result of some ancient abstract noun suffix (< ✱tādiyē), much like in S. serni “pebble bank”.
path
noun. peel, skin of fruit, fine bark (paper)
A word appearing in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with glosses “peel, skin of fruit, fine bark (paper)” (GL/63), hence probably related to ᴱQ. parma “skin, bark; parchment; book” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√PARA [✱PAÐA] (QL/72). Its plural form as padhin, indicating a primitive form of ✱pað- where the final ð became th as usual in Gnomish.

Unglossed roots in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with variants ᴱ√SIVI and ᴱ√SIWI and a single unglossed derivative ᴱQ. sivilda (QL/84). It is difficult to guess what Tolkien intended for these forms to mean, though they conceivably reemerged as the later roots ᴹ√SIW “excite, egg on, urge” (Ety/SIW) or √SIB “rest, quiet” (VT44/35).

Neo-Sindarin: Since I retain ᴺS. brach “shawl, wrap”, I’d also keep this Gnomish verb as a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√BARAK “wrap”, but updated to ᴺS. braetha- “to wrap, swathe” since ai became ae in Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s.

vanta
noun. walk, walk, *hike, march
A noun for “a walk” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√BAT “tread” (Ety/BAT).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Eldarin, I assume ᴹ√BAT is for a “heavy walk” as opposed for √PAT for a “light walk” or “step”, so I would use vanta for an extended or serious walk, and thus including “✱hike” and “✱march”.
