G. drintha- v. “to turn (tr.), twist” (Category: to Turn)

A verb appearing as G. {drinta- >>} drintha- “to turn (tr.), twist” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, related to G. drinn “disc” (GL/30). It was thus likely based on a strengthened form of the early root ᴱ√RINI having to do with circles (QL/80).

Neo-Sindarin: Since ᴹ√RIN survived as a root having to do with circles in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain this verb adapted as ᴺS. drinna- “to turn, twist” to better fit Sindarin phonology.
