Rest

noun. cut

rest

noun. *cut, [N.] cut

A noun appearing as N. rhest in The Etymologies of the 1930s as a cognate to ᴹQ. rista “a cut”, both derived from the root ᴹ√RIS (Ety/RIS). It appeared in later writings as an element in the (untranslated) name Eglarest (S/58; WJ/365). In Noldorin, an initial r unvoiced to rh, but this was not the case in Sindarin, so its independent Sindarin form is probably rest.
