per

root. divide in middle, halve

peres

root. affect, disturb, alter

A root in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “affect, disturb, alter” with derivatives like N. presta- “to affect, trouble, disturb” and N. pesso “it affects, concerns” (Ety/PERES; EtyAC/PERES). It had a short form ᴹ√PER (EtyAC/PERES), but in a separate entry in The Etymologies ᴹ√PER was glossed “divide in middle, halve” (Ety/PER) which doesn’t seem to be related.

te

dab

root. give way, make room, permit, allow

A root in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “give way, make room, permit, allow”, with the derivatives in both Quenya and Noldorin having mostly to do with permission (Ety/DAB).

ken

root. see, perceive, look at, observe, direct gaze

kyen

root. see, perceive, look at, observe, direct gaze

skwar

root. crooked

This root appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s as ᴹ√SKWAR “crooked” with derivatives like ᴹQ. hwarin “crooked” and Dan. swarn “perverse, obstinate, hard to deal with” (Ety/SKWAR). In red-ink revisions to the Outline of Phonology (OP2) from the 1950s Tolkien decided that the initial combination skw- was not possible (PE19/78 and note #51). For purposes of Neo-Eldarin, this root might be salvaged by assuming its actual form was ᴺ√SWAR.

yen

root. year

A root in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “year” with derivatives like ᴹQ. yén/N. în “year” (Ety/YEN). Tolkien’s ongoing use of words like Q. yén and S. ínias “annals” indicate its ongoing validity (LotR/377; MR/200), but in Quenya at least the meaning shifted to that of an “Elvish long year”, equal to 144 solar years (LotR/1107; MR/471; NM/84).
