Eldamo : Early Primitive Elvish : ETE

ᴱ√ETE root. “cling together”

⚠️ᴱ√ETE root. “cling together”: √KHIM “adhere, [ᴹ√] stick, cleave [to]”; √ET “out, forth”

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “cling together” serving as the basis for words for “ivy” and “cousin” (QL/36). It was probably replaced by √ET “out”.

Neo-Eldarin: For purposes of Neo-Eldarin, the “ivy” words might be salvageable as derivatives of √ET in the sense of “a thing clinging to the outside”.
