?ᴱ√SARA² root. “*surf”

⚠️?ᴱ√SARA² root. “*surf”: √SAR “score, incise; [extended sense] write; [ᴹ√] *stone”; √PHAL “foam, splash”

A hypothetical root explaining various related words in Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s such as G. saros “surf, sea” and G. sôr “wave” (GL/67). There are no signs of this root being used this way in Tolkien’s later writing.
