ᴹQ. rinka n. “twitch, jerk, trick, sudden move” (Category: to Draw, Pull)
A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s appearing after N. rhinc “twitch, jerk, trick, sudden move” under the root ᴹ√RIK(H) “jerk, sudden move, flirt” (EtyAC/RIK(H)). It may thus have the same meaning as the Noldorin word, though the two are not direct cognates since rhinc does not show a-affection. Alternately, rinka could be some kind of (untranslated) adjective.
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I assume rinca is a noun, though only with the meanings “twitch, jerk, sudden move”.
Conceptual Development: Earlier nouns of similar meaning include ᴱQ. kilt “a tuck” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√KLTL “tilt; fling” (QL/47) and ᴱQ. hyekka “a jerk” in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/144). See also rihta- “to jerk” for a discussion of related verbs.
