ᴱQ. qitin adj. “knitted, joined tight” (Category: to Weave)

An adjective appearing as ᴱQ. qitin “knitted, joined tight” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√QITYI (QL/78).

Neo-Quenya: I update the early root to ᴺ√KWIT “knit” to serve as the basis for Neo-Quenya knitting words, and would therefore retain ᴺQ. quitin “knitted, joined tight”.
