Q. #talca n. “post, mark” (Category: Beam)

Q. #talca, n. “post, mark” (Category: Beam)

A word attested only as an element in lantalka “boundary post or mark” in notes on The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor from the late 1960s (VT42/8). Carl Hostetter suggested it and its Sindarin cognate S. tagol could be derived from primitive *✶tak(a)la based on the root √TAK “fix, make fast” (VT42/28).
