sisi-
verb. to scorch, singe, fry
A verb in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as ᴱQ. sisi- “scorch, singe, fry” derived from the early root ᴱ√SISI “singe, etc.” (QL/84). The root’s likely Gnomish derivatives such as G. thista- “dry up” (GL/73) indicate the root form is probably ✱ᴱ√ÞISI.
Neo-Quenya: I think this word is worth salvaging as Neo-Quenya ᴺQ. sis-, though it would need to be derived from a Neo-Root ᴺ√THITH to retain this same form.

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. {singi >>} singe “salt” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s and under the early root ᴱ√SIŊI (QL/83). The contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa had ᴱQ. singi “salt” (PME/83). Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s had ᴱQ. singwe “salt” (PE16/145).
Neo-Sindarin: Of these various forms, I’d use ᴺQ. singë for “salt” for best compatibility with [G.] sing “salt”, but would assume its stem form is singi- and that it was a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√SIÑGI.
