ᴹQ. mapa- v. “to grasp, seize” (Category: to Grasp, Seize, Take Hold of)
A verb in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “grasp, seize” derived from the root ᴹ√MAP “lay hold of with hand, seize” (Ety/MAP).
Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. map- “seize, take” under the early root ᴱ√MAPA “seize” (QL/59). The verb form mapa “seize” also appeared in the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon, but there it was deleted (GL/55). The verb mapa or mapta was translated “ravish, seize and carry off forcibly” in the English-Qenya Dictionary of the 1920s (PE15/76), while map- “take” appeared in other Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/133).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would use this verb in its 1930s senses “grasp, seize”. For “take” I would use ᴹQ. tuvu-, and for “ravish” the elaborated verb form [ᴱQ.] amapta-.
