hyalta-
verb. to strike, make ring
A verb appearing as ᴱQ. hyalta- “to strike, make ring” in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/144), possibly related to the 1930s root ᴹ√SYAL having to do with sea shells (Ety/SYAL); see that root’s entry for discussion.
Neo-Quenya: Given the (possible) survival of its root, I would retain ᴺQ. hyalta- “to strike, make ring” for purposes of Neo-Quenya. Luinyelle that it might be used to mean “ring = make a phone call to”, in combination with the dative: hyaltuvan lyen “I will call you, (lit.) I will ring to you”.
