Eldamo : Early Quenya : vanko

ᴱQ. vanko n. “tradesman” (Category: Merchant, Tradesman)

⚠️ᴱQ. vanco, n. “tradesman” (Category: Merchant, Tradesman): ᴺQ. ^manco “tradesman”

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. vanko “tradesman” in the Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√VAKA (QL/99).

Neo-Quenya: Merchant words where later transferred to the root ᴹ√MBAKH, so I would adapt this word as ᴺQ. manco “tradesman” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, based on [ᴹQ.] manca- “trade”.
