bara

noun. home, cottage

mara-

verb. to dwell

bar(n)a-

verb. to dwell in (a land), till (land)

A verb appearing as G. {bartha- >>} bara- or barna- “dwell in, till (tr.)” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/21), clearly derived from the early root ᴱ√MBARA “dwell, live” (QL/63). Its gloss is followed by a parenthentical comment “(land)”. Likely the original sense was “dwell in (a land)”, and from there it gained the sense “✱prepare a land for dwelling” = “till (land), ✱cultivate”.

Neo-Sindarin: Since √MBAR continues to appear in Tolkien’s later writings, for purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would retain transitive ᴺS. barna- “to till (land), ✱cultivate” with an original sense “to dwell in (a land)”. Given this verb’s association with cultivation, however, I would use the later verb [N.] dortha- as the primary verb for “to dwell, stay, settle, ✱live (in a place)” (Ety/NDOR).

(m)bara-

bara dhair haithin

barog

adverb. from home, out, away, abroad

baron

adverb. from home, out, away, abroad

A word in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as G. {bara, barthos >>} baron, barog “from home, out, away, abroad” based on G. bar “(at) home” (GL/21).

gwadh-

verb. to dwell

A verb appearing as G. gwadh- “dwell” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with a (deleted) primitive form gu̯ađ (GL/46), likely an allusion to the early root ᴱ√ẆAÐA from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/102). In that document, Tolkien gave the Gnomish form as {gwath- >>} gwar-, however, which might align with the deleted primitive form ᴱ✶gu̯ara- “dwell” from the Gnomish Lexicon (GL/38).
