An unglossed root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives like ᴱQ. toli “doll, puppet” and ᴱQ. tolipin “mannikin” (QL/94). I think it is worth retaining it as a Neo-Root √TOLI “doll” to salvage these early words.
Primitive elvish
toli
root. *doll
entya, enetya adj. "central, middle" (VT41:16; these forms, as well as the noun entë "centre", come from a late, somewhat confused source; the adjective #endëa and the noun endë from earlier material may fit the general system better, and #endëa is even found in the LotR itself as part of the word atendëa, q.v.)
