lusta adj. "void, empty" (LUS)

lussa-

to whisper

lussa- vb. "to whisper" (SLUS/SRUS). Since Tolkien eventually decided that roots in sl- yield Quenya words in hl- (though this was pronounced l- in late Exilic Quenya), it may be that the spelling *hlussa- is to be preferred.

lussë

whispering sound

lussë noun "a whispering sound" (SLUS/SRUS). Since Tolkien eventually decided that roots in sl- yield Quenya words in hl- (though this was pronounced l- in late Exilic Quenya), it may be that the spelling *hlussë is to be preferred.

lhaug

adjective. warm

An adjective appearing as N. lhaug “warm” in The Etymologies of the 1930s from primitive ᴹ✶lauka under the root ᴹ√LAW of the same meaning (Ety/LAW).

Conceptual Development: G. laug appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “(of plants) alive, having sap, green, vigorous” (GL/53), likely based on the early root ᴱ√LAWA having to do with the life of plants (QL/52).

Neo-Sindarin: This word is usually adapted as ᴺS. laug “warm” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, as suggested in HSD (HSD), since the unvoicing of initial l is not a feature of later Sindarin.

Primitive elvish

milik

root. *greed, lust

The unglossed root ᴹ√MIL-IK appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s, where its shorter form served as the basis for words like ᴹQ. maile/N. moel “lust” and its longer form for ᴹQ. milka/N. melch “greedy” as well as the name ᴹQ. Melko (Ety/MIL-IK), though in later writings Q. Melkor was derived from √MBELEK (PE17/115). As for √MILIK, it reappeared in Common Eldarin: Noun Structure of the early 1950s serving as the basis for S. maelig “wealth, abundance” (PE21/80), apparently in the same general semantic space as 1930s N. melch “greedy” but with a less negative connotation.

Conceptual Development: The root ᴱ√MḶKḶ “possess” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/62) as part of a list of roots at the end of the M-section (QL/63). It had derivatives like ᴱQ. malke “rich”, ᴱQ. malko “lord”, and ᴱQ. milk- “have, keep, possess” (QL/62). In the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon is also had derivatives like G. malc “rich, powerful” and G. malcos “lordship” (GL/56).

lus

root. *empty

A root in The Etymologies of the 1930s whose derivatives had to do with empty things, such as ᴹQ. lusta “void, empty”, N. lhoss “wilderness” and N. lhost “empty” (Ety/LUS). The last of these was an element in the name N. Lhothlann or Lothland “Empty and Wide” (Ety/LAD; LR/264), and Tolkien’s continued use of S. Lothlann in later versions of the Silmarillion indicate the ongoing validity of this root (S/123).

slus

root. whisper

A root in The Etymologies of the 1930s with variants ᴹ√SLUS and ᴹ√SRUS; it was glossed “whisper” with derivatives like ᴹQ. lussa- “to whisper” and ᴹQ. lusse/N. thloss/floss “whispering sound” (Ety/SLUS). The only sign of ᴹ√SRUS was the variant form N. thross of N. thloss/floss.

lusu

root. foment, cherish, warm, bathe

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “foment, cherish, warm, bathe”, with derivatives ᴱQ. lúsina “warm, glowing, of things; of people, affectionate, hearty”, ᴱQ. lusta “warm bath”, and ᴱQ. lusta- “bathe in warm water” (QL/55). As pointed out by Gilson, Hostetter, Wynne and Smith, “cherish” has an archaic sense “to keep warm” (QL/55), and Tolkien was also likely using “foment” in its older sense of “bathe with warm lotions”. There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing.

sḷkḷ

root. rich, lush

ᴱ√SḶKḶ² “rich, lush” was variant of the root ᴱ√SṚKṚ “fat” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives ᴱQ. silk(in)a “rich, fat, glossy” and ᴱQ. silqe “gloss hair” (QL/86), possibly the same as ᴱ√SḶKḶ from which “grass” words were derived (QL/84). In The Etymologies of the 1930s, ᴹ√SALAK was used exclusively of “grass” words.

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s said to be the equivalent of G. lûm [“time”] or G. olod [“tide”] as well as having the sense “weather” (GL/55). It was probably based on the early root ᴱ√LUHU which had various time-related derivatives (QL/56), since in GL is was grouped with other time-words.
