A verb for “send, cause to go (in a desired direction)” appearing in notes from 1959-60 as a causative form of √MEN “go, move, proceed” (PE17/165; VT41/6). This is probably the most general Quenya verb for “send”, as opposed to tulta- which is “send [for] = cause to come (towards the speaker)”.
Quenya
menta-
verb. have as object[ive], (in)tend, proceed, make for, go towards
menta-
verb. to send, cause to go (in a desired direction)
menta-
send, cause to go
menta- (1) vb. "send, cause to go" (in a desired direction) (VT41:6, VT43:15). A similar-sounding primitive verb mentioned in PE17:93 is said to have past and perfect forms that would produce Quenya *mennë*, eménië, but here Tolkien seems to be discussing a distinct intransitive verb "go" and its Sindarin descendants, and Quenya menta- rather belongs to the causative (transitive) verbs which according to the same source has "weak" past-tense forms (in -në, hence mentanë "sent", and likely ementië** as perfect "has sent").
lenta-
send
[#lenta- vb. "send", attested in the past tense with pronominal suffixes: lentanelyes "you sent him". Changed by Tolkien to #lelta-, q.v. (VT47:22, 21)]
lango
passage
lango (2) noun "passage", especially across or over an obstacle, also "neck" (PE17:92)
lelta-
send
#lelta- vb. "send", attested in the past tense with pronominal suffixes: leltanelyes "you sent him" (VT47:21)
mentië
passage, journey, direction of travel
mentië noun "passage, journey, direction of travel" (PE17:13); the elements are men- "go, proceed" + tië "path, road". Not to be confused with the gerund of menta- #1.
An intransitive ta-formative verb based appearing in notes from around 1964, based on the root √MEN and having the gloss “have as object, (in)tend, proceed, make for, go towards” (PE17/93).
Neo-Quenya: Tolkien often treated Q. menta- as a causative with the sense “send = make go”. I prefer this meaning for menta-, while for “desire/intend to go” I prefer selya-; see those entries for discussion.
