ᴹQ. narca-, v. “to rend” (Category: to Tear): ᴱQ. ulqu- “*to rend”

A verb in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “to rend” derived from the root ᴹ√NARAK “tear, rend (tr. and intr.)” (Ety/NÁRAK; EtyAC/NÁRAK). In The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road Christopher Tolkien gave the form as narki (LR/375), but Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne corrected this to narka in their Addenda and Corrigenda to the Etymologies (VT45/37).
