Q and S word for "choke, drown". I found EQ qosta- and qoro-, but they do not follow moderns Q rules, and I don't know how to make modern cognates. I also found undulav-, but that verb is both clumbersome and, as far as I can tell, transitive, whereas I need an intransitive verb.
I don't see a problem with quor-. It fits the phonology of Late Quenya and the root KWOR was not used for anything else. Probably the other verb should be modified to quorta-, with Sindarin cognates por- and portha-, probably intransitive and transitive respectively.
+Paul Strack As I guess, the problem is that, in Helge's Quettaparma, it is claimed that kwo sequence is 'improbable' for later Quenya. Is it phonologically based, or rather just means there are no known examples of such a cluster?
Those who don't believe the "Latin" /kwo/ could appear in Quenya (which attestedly has no problem with /kwa, kwe, kwi/) could always just substitute "cuo".
