ᴱQ. pukta- v. “*to copulate” (Category: to have Sexual Intercourse)
A verb appearing as ᴱQ. pukta- in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√PU(HU) “generate” (QL/75). According to the editors, it was written over an erased word whose glosses seems to have been “coire”, which is Latin for “to copulate”; elsewhere derivatives of this root had to do sex and sexual organs.
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would adapt this word as ᴺQ. puhta- “to copulate, have sex” as suggested by Fiona Jallings, with the later Quenya sound change of kt to ht.
