ᴹQ. ovesta n. “contract, compact, treaty” (Category: Surety, Security)
The Etymologies of the 1930s had ᴹQ. vesta “contract” as well as ᴹQ. ovesta as the cognate to N. gowest “contract, compact, treaty”, all derived from the root ᴹ√WED “bind” (Ety/WED). These Quenya words were deleted since they collided with derivatives of ᴹ√BES having to do with marriage.
Neo-Quenya: I would restore ᴺQ. ovesta “contract, compact, treaty” for purposes of Neo-Quenya since we have no better alternatives.
