hamu-
verb. to sit down, take a seat
The verb ᴹQ. hamu- “sit down, take a seat” appeared in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) of 1948 as an example of an inceptive verb based on ᴹQ. ham- “sit” (PE22/114).
Neo-Quenya: In Tolkien’s later writings the usual verb for “sit” was Q. har-, so I would update the 1948 verb hamu- to ᴺQ. haru- “to sit down, take a seat”.
Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. {sosta- >>} sorta- “sit down” under the early root {ᴱ√SOŘO >>} ᴱ√SORO [ÐORO] (QL/85-86).
