ᴱ√TOŊO root. “to hammer”
A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “to hammer”, with derivatives like ᴱQ. tonga “great hammer”, ᴱQ. tongar “smith”, and several erased derivatives having to do with “iron” (QL/94). In later writings the root for “hammer” was ᴹ√(N)DAM, but ᴱ√TOŊO may have survived as ᴹ√TON “tap, knock” from the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) of 1948 (PE22/103).
