By the way, here's what the editors of Vinyar Tengwar had to say on
essecilme (in a linguistic review of the Elvish published in
Morgoth's Ring):
Quote:
'The second element cilme 'choosing' might derive from the base KIL- 'divide' (LR: 365), in the sense that 'choosing' involves separating what one wants from a large number of possibilities. The verb stem kil- 'see' as in kiluva 'shall see' (MC: 213) could also be related.'
From the Tolkien linguistic journal Vinyar Tengwar, number 34, entry for essecilme

Not that this helps put a possible verb derived from
essecilme into the imperative, but these are the experts compared to me, in any event.
Had you just wanted 'fox' that might have been easier (I'm pretty sure there's an attested word for this).
