sulpa

noun. soup

A word appearing as ᴱQ. sulpa “soup” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√SḶPḶ (QL/84).

Neo-Sindarin: This early root became ᴹ√SALAP “lick up” in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/SÁLAP), but I assume the existence of a variant form ᴹ√SULUP “lap up” serving as the basis for words like 1948 ᴹQ. sulpa- “to lap up” (PE22/114). As such, I would preserve ᴺQ. sulpa “soup” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

sulpa-

verb. to lap up, drink greedily, to lap up, drink greedily; [ᴱQ.] to lick, sup, lick up, sup up; to sip, taste; to drink

A verb glossed “to lap up, drink greedily” in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) of the late 1940s as an example of a talat-stem verb (PE22/114-115), perhaps derived from a variant ✱ᴹ√SULUP of the root ᴹ√SALAP “lick up” in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/SÁLAP).

Conceptual Development: This verb appeared as ᴱQ. sulp- “lick, sup, lick up, sup up” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SḶPḶ (QL/84). In the Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s it was glossed “drink” (PE14/58) and in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s it was glossed “sips, tastes” (PE13/149).

thlibri

noun. soup

There was a deleted noun G. thlibri “soup” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/73) based on the early root ᴱ√SḶPḶ (QL/84).

Neo-Sindarin: This early root became ᴹ√SALAP “lick up” in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/SÁLAP), but I assume the existence of a variant form ᴹ√SULUP “lap up” serving as the basis for words like 1948 ᴹQ. sulpa- “to lap up” (PE22/114). As such, I would update the Gnomish word to ᴺS. solph “soup” as a cognate to [ᴱQ.] sulpa “soup” (QL/84).
