Gnomish

lor-

verb. to sleep deep, dream (tr.)

A verb appearing as G. lor- “sleep deep, dream” (GL/54), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√LORO “doze, slumber” (QL/56).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain the verb ᴺS. lor- for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, but with the sense “sleep, slumber” only; for “dream” I’d use N. oltha- (Ety/ÓLOS). This neologism has likely been floating around for a while, but it was first suggested to me by Elaran.
