ᴱQ. qaqa- v. “to quack, squawk, cackle” (Category: Duck)
A verb appearing as ᴱQ. qaqa- “quack, squawk, cackle” in Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√QAHA (QL/76).
Neo-Quenya: I’d adapt this word as ᴺQ. quaqua- “quack, squawk, cackle, *croak” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, based on hypothetical onomatopoeic root *√KAWAK, the basis for words like ✶kāwāk > Q. quácë “frog” (VT47/36).
