A word appearing as ᴱQ. ulumpe or ulun (ulunt-) “camel” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/97). The contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa had ulump(e)- “camel” (PME/97). Under the early root ᴱ√KUPU “hump” Tolkien had a different form ᴱQ. kuptulo for “camel”, but this was deleted (QL/49).
Neo-Quenya: I think this word may be preserved as ᴺQ. ulumpë “camel” based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√LUP “hump”.
