Q. retto n. “*climber” (Category: to Rise)
An apparently Quenya word in 1957 Notes on Names (NN), based on the root √RET and equivalent to S. reth, the latter an element in the name S. Orodreth “Mountaineer” (PE17/182). It is thus likely that Q. retto and S. reth means something like “*climber”, though it is possible that retto is actually a primitive form.
