ᴹQ. orro² adv. “up in the air, on high” (Category: High)

An adverb appearing on a rejected page of roots from the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from 1948 glossed “up in the air, on high”, derived from the root ᴹ√SRŌ (PE22/127).

Neo-Quenya: Since RŌ/ORO “up” appears regularly in Tolkien’s writings, I’d retain orro “up high” [= at a great height] for purposes of Neo-Quenya, to contrast with tára “high, lofty, tall” [= of a great height].
