usu-
verb. to escape, get out
A verb appearing as ᴱQ. usu- “get out” in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/98). In the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon it was given as usin “he escapes” with past forms usse and ūse under the early root ᴱ√USU⁽⁾ “get out, escape” (QL/98).
Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. us- “to escape, get out” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but reconceived as a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√UTH of similar meaning.
