lapattë

hare

lapattë noun "hare" (GL:52)

har

near

har, harë adj.? adv.? "near" (LT1:253)

lopoldë

noun. rabbit

A word for “rabbit” appearing in its plural form lopoldi in 1965 notes on the land and beasts of Númenor (NM/335).

Conceptual Development: The earliest “rabbit” word is ᴱQ. lapatte from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, derived from primitive ᴱ✶lopatte (QL/51), and thus probably connected to the early root ᴱ√LOPO whose derivatives had to do with running animals (QL/56). ᴱQ. lapatte also appeared in the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon as the equivalent of G. laboth “a hare” (GL/52). In the Declension of Nouns from the early 1930s, Tolkien instead had ᴹQ. lopo “rabbit” from primitive ᴹ✶lopō (PE21/31), again probably connected to the root ᴹ√LOP. Thus it seems likely that 1965 lopoldi was also connected to √LOP.

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).
