Early Quenya

qilti-

verb. to gird, encircle

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. qilti- “gird, encircle” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√QḶTḶ (QL/78).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would adapt this verb as ᴺQ. quilta- “to gird, encircle” from a Neo-Root ᴺ√KWILIT (WJ/369). For example, this Early Qenya verb was adapted this way by Helge Fauskanger in his NQNT (NQNT).
