N. telch n. “stem” (Category: Branch)

N. telch, n. “stem” (Category: Branch)
G. thripthon “stem”

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “stem” under the root ᴹ√TELEK “stalk, stem, leg” (Ety/TÉLEK). Its Quenya cognate Q. telco “stem, leg” continued to appear in Tolkien’s later writings (PE17/122; LotR/1118).

Neo-Sindarin: Conceivably this word might also mean “leg” like its Quenya cognate. Such a thing is indicated by the name Telchandir, the Sindarin/Noldorin equivalent of Q. Telcontar “Strider” (AotM/62). However, I recommend using this word only for its attested gloss “stem” and suggest ᴺS. teleg for “leg”; see that entry for details.
