@@@ NQ. gloss “decide” suggested by Robert Reynolds
Quenya
lárë
happen
marta-
verb. to define, decree, destine, to define, decree, destine; [ᴱQ.] to happen (impers.), chance
tullu-
verb. to occur, happen (i.e. come in time)
marta-
verb. to chance
marta- (1) vb. "to chance" or *"happen" (QL:63), cf. mart- "it happens" (impersonal) (LT2:348 read marta-?). Another version assigns transitive meanings to the same verb: "to define, decree, destine" (with the last sense = martya-, q.v.), with a variant umbarta- "in more lofty senses" (PE17:104)
umbarta-
verb. to define, decree, destine
[lárë vb. "happen" (VT45:26; the word has an unusual shape for a verb, and was in any case deleted)]
