Eldamo : Early Quenya : qiri-¹

ᴱQ. qiri-¹ v. “to stir (make spin)” (Category: to Spin)

⚠️ᴱQ. quiri-¹, v. “to stir (make spin)” (Category: to Spin): ᴺQ. quir- “to stir, make spin”

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. qiri- or qirna- in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “stir (make spin)” under the early root ᴱ√QIŘI [QIÐI] (QL/77).

Neo-Quenya: A similar root √KWER “revolve” appeared in Tolkien’s later writings (PE17/65), so I think a Neo-Root ᴺ√KWIR “stir, spin” might be used as a variant of that root. I would use ᴺQ. quir- “to stir, make spin” as its Quenya verb form.
