Eldamo : Middle Quenya : suhto

ᴹQ. suhto n. “draught” (Category: to Drink)

ᴹQ. suhto, n. “draught, *a single act of drinking” (Category: to Drink)

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “draught” derived from the root ᴹ√SUK “drink” (Ety/SUK).

Neo-Quenya: This noun may have been replaced by Q. yulda “something drunk, a drink, a draught” (LotR/377; PE17/63), but I think suhto might be retained in reference to “a single act of drinking” vs. yulda for “a drink, the thing drunk”.
