Eldamo : Middle Quenya : salpa-

ᴹQ. salpa- v. “to lick up, sup, sip” (Category: to Lick)

ᴹQ. salpa-, v. “to lick up, sup, sip, [ᴱQ.] take a sup of; to sample” (Category: to Lick)

A verb in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “lick up, sup, sip” derived from the root ᴹ√SALAP “lick up” (Ety/SÁLAP).

Conceptual Development: This verb appeared as ᴱQ. salpa- “take a sup of, sample, sip” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SḶPḶ (QL/84). I’d retain the sense “sample” as an alternate meaning for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
