N. batha- v. “to trample” (Category: to Hit, Strike, Beat)

N. batha-, v. “to trample” (Category: to Hit, Strike, Beat)

A verb appearing as its (Noldorin) infinitive batho in The Etymologies of the 1930s derived from ON. batthṓ “trample” based the primitive ᴹ✶battā́ under the root ᴹ√BAT “tread” (Ety/BAT).

Conceptual Development: A possible precursor is the verb G. bactha- “walk” from the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/21), probably based on the early root ᴱ√VAHA having to do with travel (QL/99).
