Eldamo : Quenya : caita-²

Q. caita-² v. (ta-causative) “*to lay (transitive)” (Category: to Put, Place, Set, Lay)

Q. caita-², v. (ta-causative) “*to lay (transitive); [ᴱQ.] to place, ⚠️lie down” (Category: to Put, Place, Set, Lay): ᴺQ. !etepanya- “to put out”; ᴺQ. !sasta- “to put, place”; ᴹQ. esta-² “to place, set, plant”

@@@ in Tolkien’s later writing is never used intransitively, though it was in ᴱQ. It is possible that it might be used as a transitive/intransitive pair like orta-¹ “to raise” and orta-² “to rise”, as it was on PE22/159
