ᴹ√TUK root. “draw, bring”

ᴹ√TUK root. “draw, bring”: √SAK “draw, pull”

A root in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “draw, bring” with derivatives like ᴹQ. tuk- “draw” and N. tog- “{lead}, bring” (Ety/TUK; EtyAC/TUK). It might be a later iteration of unglossed ᴱ√TUKU from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives like ᴱQ. tuku- “go in search of, look for, fetch” and G. tug- “hit, reach mark; light on, chance on, find; arrive; chance, occur; suit, fit, be convenient, ‘do’” (QL/95; GL/71). However, the 1910s and 1930s meanings of the root seem to be quite different.
