hosta-
verb. to gather, collect
glesta-
verb. to gather
A verb appearing as G. hosta- “gather, collect” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/49) likely based on the early root ᴱ√HOSO or ᴱ√ΧOÞ (QL/41).
Conceptual Development: Q. hosta- meant “gather, collect” in Tolkien’s later writings based on the later root √KHOT(H), so I would retain ᴺS. hosta- “to gather, collect” as well, reconceived as a derivative of the later form of the root.
