spar
root. hunt, hunt, [ᴹ√] pursue
The root ᴹ√SPAR “hunt, pursue” first appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s with derivatives like N. faro “to hunt” and N. feredir “hunter” (Ety/SPAR). Tolkien first considered making this root ᴹ√PHAR⁽²⁾ (EtyAC/PHAR²). The root ᴹ√SPAR “hunt, pursue” reappeared in the Quenya Verbal System of the 1940s with the derived verb ᴹQ. fara- “hunt” (PE22/113). √SPAR “hunt” was mentioned a couple times in Tolkien’s later writings as well (PE17/83; PE18/94).
Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!
faraste
noun. hunting, the chase
A word appearing as ᴹQ. faraste “hunting, the chase” in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from 1948 (PE22/110). It likely means a (single) act of hunting, as opposed to faralë which is “hunting” in abstract or the practice of hunting.
Neo-Quenya: Since Tolkien revised the “general action suffix” from ᴹQ. -ste to Q. -sta, I would adapt this word as ᴺQ. farasta for purposes of Neo-Quenya (PE22/137).
farastea
adjective. of the chase (that it is proper to hunt), *of prey
An adjectival form of faraste “hunting, the chase”, with the sense “a beast of the chase (that it is proper to hunt)”, so used in phrases like “beast of prey” (PE22/111). In other words, it is used for beasts who are the hunter rather than the hunted.
farastea nasto
a beast of the chase (that it is proper to hunt)
farale
noun. hunting
roime
noun. hunt, hunting
A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “hunt, hunting” derived from the root ᴹ√ROY “chase” (Ety/ROY¹). In The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road, Christopher Tolkien gave this word as raime (LR/384), but in their Addenda and Corrigenda to the Etymologies, Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne clarified that the word was actually roime with an o (VT46/12).
A noun appearing as N. rhui(w) “hunt, hunting” in The Etymologies of the 1930s derived from the root ᴹ√ROY “chase”, cognate to ᴹQ. roime (Ety/ROY¹). Here the initial r became voiceless rh as was usual in Noldorin, while it seems the medial m became w and then vanished.
Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had similarly formed G. raust “hunt, chase”, clearly based on the early root ᴱ√RAVA that was the bases for “hunt” words in the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (GL/65; QL/79; LT1A/Meássë).
Neo-Sindarin: Since the unvoicing of initial liquids did not occur in Sindarin, many people adapt this word as ᴺS. rui for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, as suggested in HSD (HSD). I would extend its meaning to “hunt, hunting, ✱chase”, to make it more distinct from “hunting” words based on [N.] fara-.
