ᴹQ. palpa- v. (talat-stem) “to beat, batter; *to clap, applaud (with palms)” (Category: to Hit, Strike, Beat)
A verb glossed “to beat, batter” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√PALAP (Ety/PALAP). It replaced ᴹQ. pal-, palap- “beat” based on a (rejected) shorter form of the root: ᴹ√PAL² “beat” (EtyAC/PAL²).
Conceptual Development: Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s had ᴱQ. panta- “to beat” (PE16/142), the Early Qenya Grammar had ᴱQ. tanga- “beat” (PE14/58), while the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. lampa- “hit, beat” (QL/51). ᴹQ. palka- “beat flat” from 1948 might be a later variant; see that entry for details.
Neo-Quenya: In a post on Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS) in 2023-08-20, Röandil suggested this verb might also be used for “to clap, applause” in combination with Q. paltar “palms”, as in palpa paltar = “to clap, (lit.) beat palms”. I personally think the dual would be more likely: palpa paltu. See also the extended meaning of [ᴺQ.] patahta- “clatter”.
