patakta-
verb. to clatter
A word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “to clatter”, a verb form of noun ᴱQ. patake “clatter” (QL/72).
Neo-Quenya: I would salvage this word as ᴺQ. patahta- “to clatter” for purposes of Neo-Quenya. In a post on 2024-01-31 in the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), Luinyelle suggested patahta- manten might mean “clap = (lit.) clatter with (both) hands”. See also the extended meaning of [ᴹQ.] palpa- “beat”.
