Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Early Quenya

taste

noun. fringe

A word appearing as ᴱQ. taste “fringe” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√TASA (QL/89). 1940s ᴹQ. atsa “tassel, fryse, fringe” may be a later iteration, also derived from the root ᴹ√TAS (PE22/50 note #187).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. tastë “fringe” for purpose of Neo-Quenya, but based on the Neo-Root ᴺ√TATH to avoid conflict with the later root √TAS “indicate”. I would not use atsa “fringe” since it conflicts with the more common ᴹQ. atsa “claw”; see that entry for discussion.

sult

noun. sip, taste

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. sult (sulp-) “a sip, taste” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SḶPḶ (QL/84).

Neo-Quenya: I’d adapt this noun as ᴺQ. salpë “sip” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, from the later form of the root: ᴹ√SALAP (Ety/SÁLAP).
