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.
srus
root. whisper
tiqilin
noun. thaw, melting snow, slush
This word appeared as ᴱQ. tiqilin “a thaw, melting snow, slush” with stem form tiqilind- as an elaboration of ᴱQ. tiqile “melting, thawing, thaw” (QL/92).
Neo-Quenya: I think this word can be salvaged as ᴺQ. tiquilin, but I would revise its etymology to be a combination of ᴺQ. tiqu- “melt” and √LIN “pool”.
tiqilindea
adjective. thawing, slushy
cwithri
noun. whisper
rui
noun. 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.
