G. gretha- v. “to save, rescue, preserve” (Category: to Save, Rescue)
A verb appearing as gretha- “save, rescue, preserve” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/42), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√RESE [REÞE] (QL/79; GL/65). Elsewhere in the Gnomish Lexicon Tolkien had reth- “save, rescue, preserve”, but this variant was deleted (GL/65).
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would updates these verbs to Fiona Jallings’s neologism ᴺS. reitha- “to rescue, save (from ruin, peril, loss)”, inspired by Q. rehta- of the same basic meaning.
