karkasarma
noun. large saw
A word appearing as ᴱQ. karkasarma “a large saw” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱQ. karka “fang” and ᴱQ. sarma “saw” (QL/48).
Neo-Quenya: Since Q. carca “fang” appears in Tolkien’s later writings and I retain ᴺQ. sarma “saw” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would retain ᴺQ. carcasarma “large saw” as well.
