S. #leithia- v. “to release” (Category: to Release)
A verb appearing in its [Noldorin] infinitive form N. lheitho “to release, set free” under the root ᴹ√LEK “loose, let loose, release” (Ety/LEK). Here the initial lh is the result of the Noldorin unvoicing of initial l, a sound change Tolkien abandoned for Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s, and indeed this entry also had an “EN” [Exhilic Noldorin] form leithia- “to release”, consistent with the use of Leithian “Release from Bondage” in The Silmarillion (S/162).
