G. hadra- v. “to face, oppose, stand in way; to resist, thwart” (Category: Defeat)
The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had a verb G. hadra- “face, oppose, stand in way; resist, thwart” based on the preposition G. had meaning “opposite” or in combination with the allative meaning “against” (GL/47).
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would update this verb to ᴺS. dadhra- “to face, oppose, stand in way; to resist, thwart” based on the later preposition S. dan “back to, against”.
