lhoda-

verb. to float

The Etymologies of the 1930s had a verb N. {lhuda- >>} lhoda- “to float” under the root ᴹ√LUT “float, swim”, along with a 3rd singular present form lhôd “he floats” (Ety/LUT; EtyAC/LUT). The 3rd singular form seems to imply either a variant basic verb lhod- “float” or a paradigm in which the 3rd singular form of (some) a-verbs lost their final a.

Neo-Sindarin: Since the unvoicing of l was not a feature of Sindarin, most Neo-Sindarin writers adapt this word as ᴺS. loda- “to float”, as suggested in HSD (HSD).

Conceptual Development: The earliest precursor of this verb was G. lud- “flow, stream, float” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/55), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√LUTU as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (QL/57; LT1A/Alqaluntë). Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s instead had ᴱN. lhid- “float, sail” (PE13/148).
