Middle Primitive Elvish

sag

root. *bitter, poison

An unglossed root in The Etymologies of the 1930s with derivatives like ᴹQ. sangwa/N. saew “poison” and ᴹQ. sára/N. saer “bitter” (Ety/SAG). Later poison words were derived from √SLOY, but I think this root is worth retaining in Neo-Eldarin as the basis for “bitter”.
