Early Quenya

tilt-

verb. to make slope, incline (tr.), decline, shake at foundations, make totter

A verb in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “make slope, incline (tr.), decline, shake at foundations, make totter, etc.” derived from the root ᴱ√TḶTḶ (QL/80). Its past tense form talte is the result of differing phonetic developments for long ḹ vs. short ḷ in Early Qenya.
