ᴺS. [N.] ^lagor adj. “swift, rapid” (Category: Fast, Swift, Quick)
N. lhagr adj. “swift, rapid” (Category: Fast, Swift, Quick)
A word appearing as N. lhagr “swift, rapid” in The Etymologies of the 1930s derived from primitive ᴹ✶lakra under the root ᴹ√LAK² “swift” (Ety/LAK²). In The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road it had a second form lhegin (LR/367), but Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne clarified that the form might be lhegrin in their Addenda and Corrigenda to the Etymologies (VT45/25), possibly a plural.
Neo-Sindarin: This word is often adapted as ᴺS. lagor “swift, rapid” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin as suggested in Hiswelókë’s Sindarin Dictionary (HSD), since the unvoicing of initial l is not a feature of later Sindarin and final r usually became syllabic -or after another consonant.
