reth

root. remain in same place

A root appearing in a list of Sindarin words placed with Definitive Linguistic Notes (DLN) from 1959, given as √REÞ or √RES “remain in same place, hence be unmoved, patient”. It had the derivatives S. andreth “patience”, which appeared elsewhere as the name of a Bëorian woman (MR/305), and S. Arodreth “Noble Endurance”, a name appearing nowhere else. The variant √RES may have been intended to be the Quenya form.

retto

noun. *climber

An apparently Quenya word in 1957 Notes on Names (NN), based on the root √RET and equivalent to S. reth, the latter an element in the name S. Orodreth “Mountaineer” (PE17/182). It is thus likely that Q. retto and S. reth means something like “✱climber”, though it is possible that retto is actually a primitive form.

Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Gnomish

gretha-

verb. to save, rescue, preserve

A verb appearing as gretha- “save, rescue, preserve” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/42), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√RESE [REÞE] (QL/79; GL/65). Elsewhere in the Gnomish Lexicon Tolkien had reth- “save, rescue, preserve”, but this variant was deleted (GL/65).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would updates these verbs to Fiona Jallings’s neologism ᴺS. reitha- “to rescue, save (from ruin, peril, loss)”, inspired by Q. rehta- of the same basic meaning.

reth-

verb. to save, rescue, preserve

Early Primitive Elvish

reþe

root. aid, support

A root given as ᴱ√RESE “aid, support” (gloss marked with a “?”) in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, but Tolkien later decided that it was confused with another root ᴱ√reðe which seemed to do with kinship (QL/79). After this change, forms derived from ᴱ√RESE “aid” probably still included ᴱQ. resta in the sense “support”, as well as ᴱQ. resta- “aid, come to aid of, rescue, save”. In the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon Tolkien has a similar set of words likewise derived from distinct reth- vs. redh- (GL/65), indicating the true form of ᴱ√RESE was probably ᴱ√REÞE, since þ became s in Qenya. As Gnomish derivatives of reth- Tolkien initially gave G. rest, G. resta-, G. reth- (GL/65), but these were deleted leaving only G. grest “succour, salvation”, G. gresta- “aid, help, succour, support”, and G. gretha- “save, rescue, preserve” (GL/42).

It is possible the root ᴱ√REÞE reemerged as √REK “recover, get out/away, save from ruin/peril/loss” given in Tolkien’s later writings as the basis for S. edraith “rescue, saving” (PE17/38).

Neo-Eldarin: For purposes of Neo-Eldarin I think it is worth positing a (Sindarin only) Neo-Root ᴺ√(G)RETH to salvage some of these Gnomish words.
