ᴺQ. !cava-, v. “to contain, hold” [created by Luinyelle] (Category: to Hold)

A neologism for “contain, hold” coined by Luinyelle posted on 2024-10-06 in the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), based on the root √KAB of similar meaning. Tamas Ferencz instead suggested camya- “contain, hold” based on the assumption that √KAB >> √KAM as the basis for Sindarin “hand” words, but it seems likely this replacement was transient which makes √KAM unsuitable for this meaning.
