ᴹ√PHEG root. “inner part, pith, core; of person, (?inner spirit)”

⚠️ᴹ√PHEG root. “inner part, pith, core; of person, (?inner spirit)”
√PHAY “spirit; [ᴹ√] radiate, send out rays of light”

A root in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “inner part, pith, core; of person, (?inner spirit)” with a single derivative ᴹ✶Pheganir, written below the entry for ᴹ√PHAY and probably giving an alternate etymology for the name N. Feanor (EtyAC/PHEG). The vowel in the root and the primitive form might be a instead of e. In any case, it doesn’t seem like Tolkien adopted this alternate.
