Eldamo : Middle Quenya : tolu-

ᴹQ. tolu- v. (u-verb) “to stand up, get up, leave one’s seat” (Category: to Stand)

ᴹQ. tolu-, v. (u-verb) “to stand up, get up, leave one’s seat” (Category: to Stand): ᴺQ. !tyulya- “to stand (intr.), rise”

A verb in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from 1948 given as an example of the inceptive use of the verbal extension u (PE22/114), clearly based on the root ᴹ√TOL (Ety/TOL²).

Conceptual Development: In the Qenya Lexicon, ᴱQ. tolu- was glossed “roll up, furl” under the early root ᴱ√TOL+U of similar meaning, contrasted with ᴱQ. velu- “unfurl” (QL/94).

Neo-Quenya: In Tolkien’s later writings it seems tar- became the usual verb for “stand”, but I would retain inceptive ᴹQ. tolu- “stand up, get up” for the sake of variety.
