Etymology
Diegetically explained as derived from a Primitive Elvish root *karap- (‘talk, speech’), and so cognate to 🇨🇬. However, in the early 1960s Tolkien apparently abandoned this root in favor of *pakat-, which would be expected to yield 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, replacing these words.

Verb

 * 1)  to talk, to speak, to use one’s tongue
 * 2)  to speak, to say
