gwailtha-
verb. to air; expose to air
A word appearing in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s as G. gwailtha- “to air — expose to air”, a verb form of G. gwail “air” from the root ᴱ√gu̯il (GL/45).
Neo-Sindarin: I think this word can be salvaged as a causative verb ᴺS. gwiltha- of the same meaning, from the later version of its root: ᴹ√WIL which still have derivatives related to “air”, such as N. gwelw “air (as a substance)” (Ety/WIL).
