ᴹQ. tea n. “straight line, road” (Category: Line)
A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “straight line, road” under the root ᴹ√TEÑ “line, direction” (Ety/TEÑ).
Neo-Quenya: For purpose of Neo-Quenya I assume its primary meaning is a simple straight line, and it is used for “road” only metaphorically, further implying that the road is straight.
