Middle Primitive Elvish
tumpu
root. hump
A root in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “hump”, with Quenya and Noldorin derivatives of the same meaning (Ety/TUMPU). It might be a later iteration of the root ᴱ√KUPU “hump” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s which had derivatives like ᴱQ. kumpo “pile” and ᴱG. cub “hollow” (QL/49; GL/27). Alternately, it could be a later interation of ᴱ√TUMU “swell (with idea of hollowness)” (gloss marked with “?”) from the same document, but the one clear derivative of ᴱ√TUMU was ᴱQ. tumbe “trumpet, large horn” (QL/95), which seems unrelated to 1930s ᴹ√TUMPU.
Qenya
tumpo
noun. hump, lump
A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “hump” derived from the root ᴹ√TUMPU of the same meaning (Ety/TUMPU). It is a later iteration of tunt (tump-) “lump” from the Declension of Nouns of the early 1930s (PE21/27).
Conceptual Development: Possible earlier precursors include ᴱQ. tupse “lump, knob” from Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s (PE13/154) and ᴱQ. kumpo “pile” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/49).
