thag-
verb. to split
A neologism for “to split” coined by Gilruin on 2025-08-20 in the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), derived from ᴹ√STAK of similar meaning. It replaced another of his neologisms thaetha-, which is problematic since one of the th should dissimilate from the other.

sahta-
verb. to split
A verb appearing as ᴱQ. sahta- “to split” in Early Qenya Phonology of the 1920s derived from primitive ᴱ✶stak+ta- (PE14/66).
Neo-Quenya: Since the root ᴹ√STAK “split, insert” survives in Tolkien’s later writings, I think ᴺQ. sahta- “to split” can be retained for purposes of Neo-Quenya. It does conflicted with the later verb Q. sahta- “induce” from the 1950s, but I think the two can coexist.
