14.28 to Cease
- ᴹQ. hauta- v. “to cease, take a rest, stop”
-
A verb in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “cease, take a rest, stop” derived from the root ᴹ√KHAW “rest, lie at ease” (Ety/KHAW).
- ᴹQ. pusta- v. “to stop, put a stop to, cease”
-
A verb appearing in The Etymologies of the 1930s with the glosses “to stop, put a stop to, and intr. cease, stop” under the root ᴹ√PUS “stop, halt, pause” (Ety/PUT). Tolkien added another entry ᴹ√PUT where pusta- was glossed “to stop”, but the entry for ᴹ√PUS was not removed.
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would use pusta- for both transitive and intransitive “stop, cease”, but would assume it was derived from *put+tā- and/or *put+tă-.
- S. dar- v. “[N.] to stop, halt”
-
A Sindarin word best known in its imperative form daro “*stop!”, a command given by the Elves of Lórien to the Fellowship of the Ring when they entered their forest (LotR/342; PE17/51). The translation of this imperative “stop, halt” appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s along with its [Noldorin-style] infinitive form N. deri under the root ᴹ√DAR “stay, wait, stop, remain” (Ety/DAR). In the first penciled version of this entry in The Etymologies, the infinitive form was dæri and the imperative dero but these were rejected (EtyAC/DAR). The imperative form was daro in Lord of the Rings drafts of the 1940s (TI/226).

-
A word glossed “pause, halt, rest, cessation, respite” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√PUS “stop, halt, pause” (Ety/PUS).
