ᴱ√KḶKḶ root. “gather, collect, reap”

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “gather, collect, reap” with derivatives like ᴱQ. kalka “sickle” and ᴱQ. kilk- “gather, reap” (QL/47). Given the change of the Elvish constellation from ᴱQ. Telpea Kalka “*Silvern Sickle” to later Q. Valacirca “Sickle of the Valar”, it is clear this root was replaced by ᴹ√KIRIK.
