- Q. sat- vb. “to set aside, appropriate to a special purpose or owner”
-
A verb appearing in notes on The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor from the late 1960s based on √SAT “divide, mark off” (VT42/19-20).
- ᴱQ. silt- vb. “to sift, sort out, winnow”
-
A verb appearing as ᴱQ. silt- “sort out, sift, winnow” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s based on the early root ᴱ√SḶTḶ (QL/84). The verb form silte reappeared in the Early Qenya Grammar (EQG) of the 1920s derived from primitive ᴱ✶sḷt- “sift” (PE14/58).
Neo-Sindarin: I would adapt this verb as ᴺQ. silta- “to sift, sort out, winnow” based on a neo-root ᴺ√SILIT.
- ᴱQ. silta n. “sieve”
-
A noun appearing as ᴱQ. silta “sieve” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s based on the early root ᴱ√SḶTḶ (QL/84). In very light pencil Tolkien add (ṇ) after it, perhaps considering a change in the root.
Neo-Sindarin: I would retain this noun as ᴺQ. silta “sieve” based on a neo-root ᴺ√SILIT.
- ᴱQ. siltina adj. “sifted, winnowed”
-
An adjective appearing as ᴱQ. siltina “sifted, winnowed” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SḶTḶ (QL/84).
Neo-Sindarin: I would retain this adjective as ᴺQ. siltina “sifted, winnowed” based on a neo-root ᴺ√SILIT.
- S. edregol adv. “in especial, *especially”

- G. thlid- vb. “to sort out, sift, sieve, discriminate”
-
A verb appearing as G. thlid- “to sort out, sift, sieve, discriminate” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s derived the early root ᴱ√SḶTḶ (GL/73; QL/84).
Neo-Sindarin: I would adapt this Gnomish verb as ᴺS. lhid- “to sort out, sift, sieve, discriminate” based on a neo-root ᴺ√SILIT, since in Tolkien later Sindarin phonology, initial sl became lh rather than thl.
