Eldamo : Middle Quenya : lemya-

ᴹQ. lemya- v. “to remain, tarry” (Category: to Stay, Wait, Remain)

ᴹQ. lemya-, v. “to remain, tarry; *to be left over” (Category: to Stay, Wait, Remain): ᴱQ. #er- “to remain”; ᴹQ. lenda- “to linger”; ᴱQ. masta- “to tarry, linger”

A verb in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “to remain, tarry” derived from the root ᴹ√LEM of similar meaning (EtyAC/LEB).

Neo-Quenya: Given ᴹQ. lemba “left behind”, I think lemya- might also be used for “remain = be left over/behind”.
