A verb appearing in notes associated with Quenya Fractions from the late 1960s, appearing as etsat or estat “distribute in even portions” based on the root √SAT “divide, apportion” (VT48/11). Likely it was originally et “out” + sat- “apportion”, with estat- being an alternate form produced by metathesis.

verb. to distribute in even portions, to distribute (in even portions), *partition
etsat-
distribute in even portions
etsat- vb. "distribute in even portions" (apparently et- "out" + the base sat "divide, apportion"). Not cited with a final hyphen in the source (VT48:11), but some ending would obviously be required in Quenya; the verb should probably be treated as a consonant stem (primary verb). Alternative form estat-, but as pointed out in VT48:12, the transposition ts > st is not regular in Quenya.
