Eldamo : Early Quenya : korma

ᴱQ. korma n. “cake, lump” (Category: Cake)

⚠️ᴱQ. corma, n. “cake, lump” (Category: Cake): Q. masta “bread, cake, loaf, *baked good”; Q. #corma “ring”

A word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “lump, cake” under the early root ᴱ√KORO “be round, roll” (QL/48). The word korma “cake” reappeared in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/141). However, in Tolkien’s later writings he used Q. corma for “ring” (LotR/953, 1112).
