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!

Early Quenya

lapa-

verb. to wrap, swathe, wind

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. lapa- “wrap, swathe, wind” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√LAPA “enfold” (QL/51).

Neo-Quenya: The root √LAP reappeared in Tolkien’s later writings with similar glosses “fold, bend” (VT47/35), so I would retain ᴺQ. lapa- “to wrap, swathe, wind” for purposes of Neo-Quenya. In 2024 at the suggestion of Arael and Luinyelle, I adjusted the “neo-form” of this verb from basic verb ᴺQ. lap- to a-verb ᴺQ. lapa- to avoid conflict with their neologism ᴺQ. lap- “fold”.
