A noun appearing as ᴱQ. laupe, glossed “shirt, tunic” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/51) and glossed “tunic” in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/51). The word was not tied to any root, but could have been based on ᴱ√LAPA “enfold” (QL/51).
Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. laupë “tunic, shirt” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
