Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!
This root appeared (unglossed) in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s as the basis for the words ᴱQ. kaïkta- “strangle” and ᴱQ. kailen “throat, gullet” (QL/46). The Ẏ indicates derivation from an ancient palatal spirant [c] or [ɟ] (PE12/15-16). There is no sign of this root past the 1910s.
