Table, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words

I looked but couldn't find words for table in Quenya or in Sindarin in the main dictionaries that I use. Table seems to me to be a fairly basic word. Maybe elves had no need to speak of tables?

Several web sources mentioned paluhta as the Quenya word for table. This word seems to be a variation based on Qenya, Tolkien's earliest variant of the language that would evolve into Quenya.
