tarqa-
verb. to dry, preserve; to pickle
A verb appearing as ᴱQ. tarqa- “dry, preserve; pickle” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√TṚQṚ (QL/94). The verb tarq- was also mentioned (without gloss) in a list of Quenya verb forms from this same period (PE14/28).
Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. tarqua- “dry, preserve; pickle” for purposes of Neo-Quenya based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√TARKWA, as there are no better alternatives in Tolkien’s later writings.
