thrib-

verb. to scratch

A verb in The Etymologies of the 1930s appearing in its Noldorin-style infinitive form N. thribi “to scratch” derived from the root ᴹ√SRIP of the same meaning (Ety/SRIP).

Neo-Sindarin: I would adapt this verb as ᴺS. rhib- “to scratch” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, as suggested in HSD (HSD), since primitive sr became voiceless rh in Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s.

verb. to scratch

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. nyasa- “to scratch” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, derived from the early root ᴱ√NYASA (QL/68).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. nyas- “to scratch” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but would assume it was derived from a Neo-Root ᴺ√NYATH “scratch”, where its s was originally þ.
