√TOK root. “non-resonant sounds”
The roots √TOK and √NOK (and deleted {√TOT}) appeared in a list of sound roots from 1959-60 as the basis for “non-resonant sounds”, but with no derivatives (PE17/138). They are similar to earlier roots, such as ᴱ√OTO “knock” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives like the verb ᴱQ. otto- “knock” but also ᴱQ. otso “7” (QL/71), as well as the root {ᴹ√TUN >>} ᴹ√TON “tap, knock, {touch (with the fingers)}” in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from 1948 with derived verb {ᴹQ. tun- >>} ᴹQ. ton- of the same meaning (PE22/103 and note #20). Another possible precursor is ᴱ√TOŊO “to hammer” from the Qenya Lexicon (QL/94).

ᴱ√TOŊO root. “to hammer”
A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “to hammer”, with derivatives like ᴱQ. tonga “great hammer”, ᴱQ. tongar “smith”, and several erased derivatives having to do with “iron” (QL/94). In later writings the root for “hammer” was ᴹ√(N)DAM, but ᴱ√TOŊO may have survived as ᴹ√TON “tap, knock” from the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) of 1948 (PE22/103).
