Eldamo : Early Quenya : rakta-¹

ᴱQ. rakta-¹ v. “to stretch out, reach” (Category: to Stretch)

⚠️ᴱQ. racta-¹, v. “to stretch out, reach” (Category: to Stretch): ᴺQ. ^rahta- “to stretch out, reach”

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. rakta- “stretch out, reach (intr.)” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√RAHA “stretch forward” (QL/78).

Neo-Quenya: A later iteration of this root is ᴹ√RAK “stretch out, reach” from The Etymologies of the 1930s, so I think this verb can be retained as ᴺQ. rahta- “to stretch out, reach”, slightly modified to fit later Quenya phonology. Helge Fauskanger used such a modified verb in his Neo-Quenya New Testament (NQNT).
