bascovas
noun. flapping and beating (especially of wings)
A word appearing as G. bascovas “flapping and beating, especially of wings” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, a noun form of G. basga- “flap” (GL/22).
Neo-Sindarin: I would adapt this word as ᴺS. blabed “flapping, beating (especially of wings)”, based on the later verb [N.] blab- “flap, beat” (Ety/PALAP).
