Q. #sarë [þ], n. “ford” (Category: Across, Athwart)

A word for “ford” implied by name Q. Mondósaresse “in Oxford” from 1972 (DTS/70). It is almost certainly based on √THAR, from which S. athrad “ford” is also derived.

Conceptual Development: The entry for the early root ᴱ√TARA¹ in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. tarna “crossing, passage, ford” as an element in ᴱQ. Taruktarna “Oxford” (QL/89). Tarna was also mentioned in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the glosses “passage, ford” (PME/89).
