G. feltha- v. “to resemble, seem like; to seem likely, be probable” (Category: Like, Similar)

A verb appearing as G. feltha- in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, glossed “resemble, seem like; seem likely, be probable” and based on G. fel “like” (GL/34).

Neo-Sindarin: Since I update G. fel to ᴺS. bîl “likeness, similarity”, I would update feltha- to ᴺS. biltha- “to resemble, seem like; to seem likely, be probable”. I would assume the “seem likely” sense is intrasive: sa biltha “that seems likely”, as opposed to transitive sa biltha herw “that seems like/resembles wine”.
