There are more words but they are from Tolkien's earlier conceptional periods. Tolkien likely changed these words as he evolved the aesthetics and completeness of the languages. You may even find languages that Tolkien later rejected. Do not mix words from different time periods unless you are familiar with the phonetic developments.

Below: Tolkien's Late Period (1950–1973). These are from Tolkien's late conceptual period — his most settled forms of the languages. Prefer these over the earlier ones above when composing new text.
A verb appearing as go-bab “shake” in the Early Noldorin Grammar of the 1920s, base on (ancient?) ᴱN. pap and equivalent to ᴱQ. qasa- (PE13/132). I think pap is an ancient Noldorin form, since it does includes the ancient sound change whereby [[en|ancient kw [q] became p]], but does not include the soft mutation of the second p to b.
In PE13, the editors suggested that the related Qenya verb might be ᴱQ. qapa- “chaffer, bargain, swap, barter” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1920s (PE12/76), but I believe it is more likely to be ᴱQ. qap- “throb, flutter” from the Early Qenya Phonology of the 1920s (PE14/66), a document that was published a couple years after PE13. See also G. paptha- “tremble” from the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/63), a possible precursor based on the early root ᴱ√PAPA.
Neo-Sindarin: Since I retain ᴺ√PAP “tremble” as a Neo-Root, I would retain ᴺS. gobab- “to shake” based on that root rather than √KWAP. A possible alternative is ᴺS. pasta- “shake”; see that entry for details.
