Early Quenya

mantl

noun. glove

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. mantl “glove” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√MAHA “grasp” that was the basis for hand words (QL/57).

Neo-Quenya: I would adapt this word as ᴺQ. mantal “glove” using the later syllabification of final ḷ: compare to Q. tancal from primitive ✶tankḷ (PE18/100).
