ᴱ√NYATA root. “chatter, gossip”

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “chatter, gossip” with derivatives like ᴱQ. nyata- “talk idly” and ᴱQ. nyatl “idle talk, gossip” (QL/68). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing, but I think it is worth retain for purposes of Neo-Eldarin.
