sarno

noun. table

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. {sarne >>} sarno “table” in Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SARA having to do with sawing and sawed things like planks (QL/82). The contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa also had sarno “table” (PME/82).

palukta

noun. table

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. palukta “table” in Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√PALA having to do with flat things (QL/71).

Neo-Quenya: Since √PAL was still associated with flat things in Tolkien’s later writing ([ᴹQ.] palar “flat field”, Q. palta “flat of the hand”), I would retain this word for purposes of Neo-Quenya in a slightly modified form: ᴺQ. paluhta “table”.

sard

noun. table

A noun appearing as G. sard “table” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, which Tolkien compared to G. thrad “plank” (GL/67, 73). It was likely based on the early root ᴱ√SARA from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon having to do with sawing and sawed things like planks (QL/82). However, elsewhere in Gnomish Lexicon Tolkien had G. thar- “ to saw (up)” indicating a variant or revised root ᴱ√ÞARA (GL/72).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would assume the verbal sense of thar- “to saw” might still be viable as related to the later root √THAR “✱across” (referring to a sawing motion). From this I would adapt the Gnomish word for “table” as ᴺS. sardh, where the final *rd* became *rdh* as with words like gardh, and the initial *s* is due to dissimilation of *th* away from the final spirant *dh*; compare to úsaeth a deleted variant of úthaes (VT44/30).
