A verb in The Etymologies of the 1930s appearing as serin “I rest” under the root ᴹ√SED of the same meaning (Ety/SED). It appeared as sére “resteth” in the contemporaneous Fíriel’s Song (LR/72). In the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) of 1948 Tolkien said that ᴹQ. ser- properly meant “to rest, repose”, but it was frequently used to mean “stay, tarry, stop, be for a while, at the moment” (PE22/125). The example he gave was ᴹQ. sinan Elessar Aran __séra__ Arkimbelesse “at present King Elessar is [staying for a while] at Rivendell”.
