drava-

verb. to hew

A verb for “to hew” in The Etymologies of the 1930s appearing in its Noldorin-style infinitive form dravo under the root ᴹ√DARAM “beat, hew” (Ety/DARÁM).

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. flig- “hew” probably based on the early root ᴱ√FḶKḶ of similar meaning (GL/35; QL/38) as well as G. pelectha- “hew” related to G. peleg “axe” (GL/64).

hathol

noun. axe

A noun for “axe” attested as the name S. Hathol “The Axe”, an ancestor of Tuor (WJ/234). Compare this to [N.] hathel “broadsword-blade, axe-blade” from the root ᴹ√SYAD in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/SYAD).

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. peleg “axe” (GL/64), a word that reappeared as ᴱN. peleg “axe” in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s (PE13/152). In the 1910s, G. Peleg was the name of the father of Tuor (later = Huor).

noun. axe

A noun for “axe” in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s (QL/73; PME/73).

Neo-Quenya: I’d keep ᴺQ. pelecco “axe” for purposes of Neo-Quenya as there are no later Quenya words of the same meaning. For example, Helge Fauskanger used this word in his NQNT (NQNT).

peler

noun. fenced field, fenced field, [ᴱQ.] fence

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “fenced field” along with cognate N. pêl, both derived from the root ᴹ√PEL(ES) “revolve on fixed point” (Ety/PEL(ES)).

Conceptual Development: A possible precursor is ᴱQ. pelto “hedge, hedged field” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a derivative of ᴱ√PELE “fence in” (QL/73). The form ᴱQ. peler appeared in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s as a cognate of ᴱN. helai “fence”, derived from primitive ᴱ✶pelesa (PE13/147). Tolkien’s continued use of its cognate S. pêl in names like S. Pelennor “Fenced Land” (LotR/749; PE17/65) indicates the ongoing validity of ᴹQ. peler.
