ᴱQ. lepsa n. “liver” (Category: Liver)

ᴱQ. lepsa “liver” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√LEFE (QL/52). The contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon had (unglossed) lipsa, in keeping with the revision G. elf >> G. ilf “heart” (GL/50).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. lepsa “liver” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
