A verb in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “chase, hunt, pursue; extirpate, exterminate” based on the early root ᴱ√RAVA (QL/79). In the Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s it appeared in the phrase ᴱQ. ya qensie melmur ne iksa telpe rautanéma “by whom we were told that his money had all been stolen from him”, so apparently meaning “to steal” in this document (PE14/54).
