A word appearing as ᴱQ. sulpa “soup” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√SḶPḶ (QL/84).
Neo-Sindarin: This early root became ᴹ√SALAP “lick up” in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/SÁLAP), but I assume the existence of a variant form ᴹ√SULUP “lap up” serving as the basis for words like 1948 ᴹQ. sulpa- “to lap up” (PE22/114). As such, I would preserve ᴺQ. sulpa “soup” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
