Early Quenya
lappa
noun. loose-end, end of rope, hem of robe
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!
A noun appearing in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s as ᴱQ. lappa, cognate to G. laf “loose-end, end of rope, hem of robe, etc.” (GL/52). It is likely based on the early root ᴱ√LAPA “enfold” (QL/51).
Neo-Quenya: Since √LAP “fold, bend” survives in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain this as ᴺQ. lappa “loose-end, end of rope, hem of robe”.
