ᴹQ. horta-, v. “to send flying, speed, urge” (Category: to Hurry, Hasten)

A verb in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “send flying, speed, urge” derived from the root ᴹ√KHOR “set going, put in motion, urge on” (Ety/KHOR). In drafts of this entry, it was glossed “urge, encourage” (EtyAC/KHOR).

Conceptual Development: In Early Qenya word-lists of the 1920s, Tolkien had ᴱQ. hur- “speed” (PE16/133).
