Eldamo : Early Primitive Elvish : KOTO

*ᴱ√KOTO root. “nut”

⚠️*ᴱ√KOTO root. “nut”: Q. *pecco “nut”

A hypothetical early root from the 1910s that would serve as the basis for Elvish “nut” words such as ᴱQ. kote and G. cod (QL/48; GL/26). In 1969, Tolkien introduced a new form Q. pec- for “nut” (PE22/155).
