osta-

verb. to surround with walls, build up; to fortify, protect; to surround

A verb appearing as G. osta- “to surround with walls, build up; fortify, protect; surround” in the Gnomish Lexicon (GL/63), based on the early root ᴱ√OSO as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT2A/Belegost; QL/s71).

Neo-Sindarin: Since ᴹ√OS “round, about” appears in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺS. osta- for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, originally with the sense “to surround”, later more specifically “surround with walls” and by extension “fortify, protect”, probably due to the influence ost “(fortified) town”.

ostor

noun. enclosure, circuit of walls

A noun appearing as G. ostor “enclosure, circuit of walls” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, an elaboration of G. ost “enclosure, yard; town” (GL/63).

Neo-Sindarin: Since S. ost “citadel, (fortified) town” continued to appear in later Sindarin, I think this word might be retained as ᴺS. ostor “enclosure, circuit of walls, ✱town wall” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin.
