S. #laba-, v. “to hop” (Category: to Jump, Leap)

A verb for “hop” extracted from the name S. Labadal “Hopafoot” (UT/60). Compare also G. laboth “rabbit” from the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, cognate of ᴱQ. lapatte (GL/52). This was in turn derived from primitive ᴱ✶lapatte in the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/51), and thus ultimately connected to the root √LOP. S. laba- “hop” may also be based on a variant of this root.

Reference ✧ UT/60
