ᴺQ. !únut- v. “to untie” (Category: to Bind)

ᴺQ. !únut-, v. “to untie” (Category: to Bind)

A neologism coined by Paul Strack in 2018 specifically for Eldamo, a negation of [ᴹQ.] nut- “to tie”. Helge Fauskanger had ᴺQ. avanut- for “untie” in his Neo-Quenya New Testament (NQNT), but the prefix ava- means refusal or forbiddance, so I think the connotation is wrong.
