ᴱQ. silki- v. “to mow, scythe, mow down” (Category: to Mow, Reap)
A verb appearing as ᴱQ. silki- “mow, scythe, mow down” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SḶKḶ¹ that was also the basis for “grass” words (QL/84).
Conceptual Development: The Etymologies of the 1930s updated this root to ᴹ√SALAK+wē for “grass” words (Ety/SALÁK), so I think this Early Qenya word can be updated to ᴺQ. salca- “to mow, scythe, mow down”.
