√LISKI root. “?reed”
An unglossed root appearing in both the first and second versions of Tengwesta Qenderinwa from the 1930s and around 1950 (TQ1: PE18/43, 66; TQ2: PE18/93), perhaps the basis for S. lisg “reed” (UT/34). However, in the Outline of Phonetic Development (OP1) from the 1940s, Tolkien said that ᴹQ. liske “reed” was derived from ᴹ✶lisge (PE19/51).
