A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “florescence, blooming” (GL/54-55), probably related to G. luitha- “bloom, blossom” and derived from the early root ᴱ√LO’O [loχo] (GL/52; QL/55).
Neo-Sindarin: I would update this word to ᴺS. lostad “blooming, florescence”, the gerund of the neologism ᴺS. losta- “to bloom, blossom”.
