?ᴱ√DAVA root. “*skin”

A (hypothetical) early root that would explain Gnomish words like G. dôf “skin, hide” and G. daf- “strip, flay, peel skin” (GL/29). It was probably replaced in later conceptions by roots like ᴹ√SKEL.

ᴱ√HULU root. “strip”

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “strip”, with derivatives in both Qenya and Gnomish such as ᴱQ. hulqa/G. hulc “naked” (QL/41; GL/49). It had a variant ᴱ√FULU which seems to have no derivatives (QL/38). There are quite a few later roots of similar meaning, so likely the root was abandoned.
