Q. raina¹, adj. “netted, enlaced; caught in a net” (Category: to Wind, Wrap)

An adjective glossed “netted, enlaced” in notes on The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor from the end of the 1960s based on the root √RAY “net, knit, contrive network or lace; involve in a network, enlace” (VT42/11). In a draft of this etymology appearing in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969, the adjective was instead glossed “netted, caught in net” and the root was glossed “net; knit (contrive a network); catch, involve (in a net)” (PE22/159).
