G. botheb- v. “to untie, undo, unloose” (Category: to Bind)

⚠️G. botheb-, v. “to untie, undo, unloose” (Category: to Bind)
ᴺS. !dannod- “to untie, undo, unloose”

A verb appearing as G. botheb- “undo, untie, unloose” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of G. bod- “back” (also = “un-”) and G. heb- “bind” (GL/23).

Neo-Sindarin: Neither the prefix or the sense of the verb survived in Tolkien’s later writings, so I would using the neologism ᴺS. dannod- “to untie, undo, unloose” instead, a reversed form of the later verb [N.] nod- “to tie”.
