1 BITE
(vb) nac- (but in late material, the same verb is said to mean “hew, cut”), BITE (noun) nahta (note: a homophone means "eighteen", though it is not the regular word in decimal counting: neither word must be confused with the verb nahta- “slay”.) –NAK, VT49:24 -
2 CUT
(vb) rista-; venië (infinitive? stem \#ven-?) (shape), CUT (noun) rista, venwë (shape).

CUT OFF (and get rid of or lose a portion:) \#aucir-, (so as to have or or use a required portion:) \#hócir- (Tolkien cited these verbs with what seems to be the ending -i of the aorist: auciri-, hóciri-). –RIS, LT1:254, WJ:365-366, 368 -
