ᴹ√KALPA root. “water-vessel”
A root in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “water-vessel”, with derivatives ᴹQ. kalpa/N. calf “water-vessel, bucket”, as well as ᴹQ. kalpa- “draw water, scoop out, bale out” (Ety/KALPA). It is a later iteration of ᴱ√KḶPḶ from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “hold, contains (esp. of liquids)”, with functionally identical noun forms ᴱQ. kalpa/G. calph “bucket, vessel”, but a different verb form ᴱQ. kulp- due to variations in how syllabic ḷ developed in Early Qenya (QL/47; GL/25). It illustrates how early roots with syllabic consonants from the 1910s were sometimes transformed later into KALTA-stem roots.
