ᴹQ. ehta- v. “to stab” (Category: to Poke, Prick, Stab)
A verb appearing as ᴹQ. ehta “stab” based on the root ᴹ√EK “point, sharp point, thorn” appearing on a page of roots from the Quenya Verbal System from 1948, but this page was marked through (PE22/127).
Neo-Quenya: Primitive ✶ektā- “prick with a sharp point, stab” appears in Tolkien’s later writings (WJ/365), so I think ᴺQ. ehta- “to stab” can be retained for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
