Q. mammata- v. “to gobble up; to go on eating, gorge oneself” (Category: to Eat)

Q. mammata-, v. “to gorge (oneself), gobble up, [ᴹQ.] devour; [Q.] (lit.) to go on eating” (Category: to Eat)

A verb for “gobble up, gorge, (lit.) go on eating” based on a frequentative form of √MAT “eat”. It appeared in notes from the late 1940s (PE22/95) and early 1950s (PE22/130).

Conceptual Development: ᴱQ. malu- “devour” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s was similar in sense, though different in origin since it was based on the early root ᴱ√MALA¹ “crush, squeeze, pulp” (QL/58).
