ᴱQ. lúta- v. “to have time pass” (Category: Time (period))

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. lúta- or lukta- “time passes” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√LUHU have to do with time (QL/56).

Neo-Quenya: Since ᴹ√LU remained the basis for “time” words in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺQ. lúta- “to have time pass” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
