ᴱN. †amra- v. “*to rise” (Category: to Rise)
A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as G. amra- “go up and down; live in the mountains; roam, wander”, probably a verb form of G. am¹ “up(wards)” (GL/19). A similar verb appeared in the Early Noldorin Dictionary of the 1920s as ᴱN. amró that Tolkien described as an “old irregular verb”, of which the modern form was ᴱN. rhosta- or amrosta- (PE13/159). These 1920s verbs appeared under the entry for ᴱN. amrost “rising” functioning as the infinitive form of these verbs, so these 1920s verbs probably meant “*to rise”. See the entry for N. eria- for later verbs meaning “rise”.
