tarias

noun. stiffness, toughness, difficulty

A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “stiffness, toughness, difficulty”, a noun form of N. tara “tough, stiff” derived from the root ᴹ√TÁRAG (Ety/TÁRAG). Christopher Tolkien said the s in tarias was uncertain. The i in tarias is the result of the sound change whereby [[s|[g] > [ɣ] > [i] after a sonant (r, l) and before a vowel]]. Presumably “stiffness, toughness” was its original meaning and “difficulty” was an extended meaning.
