Q. felehta- v. “[unglossed]” (Category: to Dig, Delve)

Q. felehta-, v. “*to excavate, tunnel, mine” (Category: to Dig, Delve)
ᴺQ. !rosta- “to hollow out, excavate”

An untranslated form appearing in Notes on Names (NN) from 1957 derived from the root √PHELEG/PHELEK (PE17/118), possibly a verb derived from *phelektā- or *phelegtā-. The derivatives of this root had to do with mines and tunnels, so perhaps this verb meant “*to excavate, tunnel, mine”.
