ᴺQ. !leppa n. “thimble” (Category: Needle)

ᴺQ. !leppa, n. “thimble” [created by Shihali] (Category: Needle)

A neologism for “thimble” coined by Shihali in 2020-10-05 on the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS). Shihali originally based this word on √LEP + ✶-mā without metathesis where pm became pp, but I prefer to assume it is simply from strengthened *leppā.

Elements

LEP “pick up/out (with the fingers); finger”
-mā “instrumental suffix”
