S. #ortha- v. “to raise” (Category: to Lift, Raise)
A verb appearing in its Noldorin-style infinitive form N. ortho “raise” in The Etymologies of the 1930s, derived from ON. ortóbe under the root ᴹ√ORO “up, rise, high” (Ety/ORO). It had a past form orthant. Its passive participle orthannen “raised” appeared in notes on The Feanorian Alphabet, also from the 1930s (PE22/31). Its gerund form orthad appeared unglossed as part of the title of the one of the great tales of The Silmarillion in notes likely from the 1950s: S. Narn e·Dant Gondolin ar Orthad en·Êl, presumably “*Tale of the Fall of Gondolin and the Raising of the Star” (MR/373). This last note indicates the ongoing validatity of this verb in the Sindarin period of the 1950s and 60s.
