Early Quenya

ripta-

verb. to cut in strips, tear up; to stripe, mark in parallel lines; to flay, flog

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. ripta- with glosses “to cut in strips, tear up - stripe, mark in parallel lines - flay, flog” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√RIPI (QL/80).

Neo-Quenya: Since I retain the Neo-Root ᴺ√RIP with the sense “strip, stripe”, I would also retain ᴺQ. ripta- with all of its early meanings.
