qalvanda

lausta-

verb. to roar, rush [making a rushing sound]

A verb appearing in several Early Qenya poems from around 1930, glossed “roar” (MC/213) or “rush” (MC/220), or in one place “lausted (made a windy noise)” (MC/216). Its etymology is very unclear, but it could be related to the early root ᴱ√RAVA with various derived “lion” words (QL/79), and so meaning “roar” by analogy with that animal with l/r variation in the initial letter. See also Q. rávëa “roaring” from versions of the Markirya poem from the 1960s.

rosta-

verb. *to rise

The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had a verb ᴱQ. rōna- “arise, rise, ascend” under the early root ᴱ√RŌ [or ᴱ√ROHO], an inverted variant of ᴱ√ORO (QL/80). It had unusual past forms roa or roi. A similar verb ᴱQ. rosta- appeared in the Early Noldorin Dictionary of the 1920s, equivalent to the ᴱN. rhosta- or amrosta- under the entry ᴱN. amrost “rising” (PE13/159). All later (and many earlier) Quenya verbs for “rise” seem to be based on √OR, such as orya- or orta-, though hints of the inverted root can be seen in later writings with occasional irregular past forms like ronte (PE22/115).
