Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Early Primitive Elvish

papa

root. *tremble

An unglossed root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives like ᴱQ. pampile “trembling” and ᴱQ. papa- “tremble” (QL/72). The verb G. paptha- “tremble, quiver” from the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon is clearly related (GL/63). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing, but I think it is worth retaining for purposes of Neo-Eldarin.
