ᴱQ. túpo n. “roof, cover, lid” (Category: to Cover)

A word appearing as ᴱQ. tūpo “roof, cover, lid” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, derived from the early root ᴱ√TUPU having to do with things covered (QL/95).

Neo-Quenya: Since √TUP “cover over” survives in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain the noun ᴺQ. túpo for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but only for the senses “cover, lid”. For “roof” I would use telumë or [ᴹQ.] tópa.
