Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!
A verb appearing in the form ᴱQ. yavin “bears fruit” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√ẎAVA having to do with fruit (QL/105).
Neo-Quenya: Since ᴹ√YAB “fruit” survived in Tolkien’s later writings, I think ᴺQ. yava- “to bear (fruit), ✱yield, bring forth, produce” can be retained for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
