Qenya 

lor-

verb. to sleep, to sleep, [ᴱQ.] slumber

The verb ᴱQ. lor- “slumber” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√LORO “doze, slumber” (QL/56). The verb reappeared in a present participle form loralyar “asleep” in Koivienéni sentence which was probably composed in the late 1930s (VT27/7).

Neo-Quenya: I’d use lor- as the best available verb for “to sleep, slumber” for purposes of Neo-Quenya; see the entry on √(O)LOR for further discussion.
