A verb appearing as {elta- >>} eltė- in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “to thrust in” under the early root ᴱ√ELE “drive, push, thrust, send forth” (QL/35). The word eltémbe in the contemporaneous Qenya Phonology might be some inflected form of this verb (PE12/27 note #158). Tolkien also gave a number of inflected forms of this verb in the typescript version of the Early Qenya Grammar from the 1920s, such as mieltal [mi-elta-l] “we drive [plural]”, etc. (PE14/86).
