nete-
verb. to get
A word appearing as ᴱQ. nete- “I get” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√ŊETE “catch, get” (QL/66).
Neo-Quenya: Since there is no better word for “get” in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺQ. net- [ñ-] for purposes of Neo-Quenya based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√Ñ(G)ET. For example, Helge Fauskanger used this word in his NQNT (NQNT). In a post on 2024-10-06 in the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), Luinyelle suggested this word might also mean “✱obtain”.
