nornoro-
verb. to run on, run smoothly and hum
A word in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s appearing as ᴱQ. nornoro-, based on the early root ᴱ√NORO “run, go smoothly, ride, spin” (QL/67; PME/67). The verb had the glosses “run on, run smoothly and hum” and “run smooth” in QL and PME, respectively.
Neo-Quenya: In a Discord chat from 2021-06-04, Elaran suggested revising this verb into a more normal frequentative form ᴺQ. nonóra- “to run on, run smoothly and hum”. Fiona Jallings suggested the extended meaning “✱keep on running (especially of machines)” in a Discord chat from 2019-02-04.
