A verb in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “I construct, fashion, build, make” derived the early root ᴱ√TAQA “fashion”, which was properly TAK + w̯ə (QL/89). It reappeared in notes on Early Qenya Phonology from the 1920s with the gloss “to build, fashion” and based on the root ᴱ√tak (PE14/66).
