ᴱQ. lapa- v. “to wrap, swathe, wind” (Category: to Wind, Wrap)

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. lapa- “wrap, swathe, wind” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√LAPA “enfold” (QL/51).

Neo-Quenya: The root √LAP reappeared in Tolkien’s later writings with similar glosses “fold, bend” (VT47/35), so I would retain ᴺQ. lap- “to wrap, swathe, wind” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
