qapta

noun. deal, bargain

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. qapta “deal, bargain” in the Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√QAPA “chaffer” [= haggle] (QL/76).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. quapta “deal, bargain” for purposes of Neo-Quenya derived from a Neo-Root ᴺS. √KWAP, since we otherwise have very few words having to do with commerce.

verb. to flap

A verb appearing in the Early Qenya Phonology of the 1920s with the gloss “to flap”, derived from ᴱ✶ku̯ap- as an elaboration of ᴱ√kapa “leap” (PE14/66). Oddly, Tolkien gave it the primitive form ᴱ✶ku̯api̯a-.
