anglenna-

verb. to approach

anglenna-

verb. to approach

A verb appearing in the King’s Letter in its future form anglennatha within the phrase anglennatha i Varanduiniant erin dolothen Ethuil “[Aragorn] will approach the Bridge of Baranduin on the eighth day of Spring” (SD/129). It appears to be a combination of an “to(wards)” and an otherwise unattested verb glenna-, perhaps meaning “✱go, travel”.

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. artha- “approach” probably based on G. art “beside, along side of” [so artha- = “✱come beside”] (GL/20), as well as G. lentha- “come towards speaker, approach, draw near” (GL/53), the latter probably based on the early root ᴱ√LEHE “come, be sent, approach” (QL/52).
