ᴱQ. tanka² n. “fastening, rivet” (Category: Nail, Peg)

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. tanka “fastening, rivet” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s written under the adjective ᴱQ. tanka “firm, fixed, fast, steady”, both based on the early root ᴱ√TAKA “fix, fasten” (QL/88).

Neo-Quenya: The root √TAK and adjective tanca survive in Tolkien’s later writing, so I think the noun ᴺQ. tanca “fastening, rivet” can also be retained for purposes of Neo-Quenya, perhaps as a nominalized form of the adjective.
