I don't know if you are aware of "Lalaith"'s excelent Edainic Etymologies
article at http://lalaith.vpsurf.de/Tolkien/Fr_Atani.html

She tried to reconstruct Mannish etymologies and deduct etymological root stems

However there is a problem with the Rohirric entries with loh-; she traces the
root of 'loho' stem as LOH

LOH despite mentioned here and there, does not have an entry of its own.
Furthermore it is not red so that means it's a root given by Tolkien and not
deducted by herself.

Yet I am not aware that Tolkien ever gave this root since it's not where the
derivative words themselves appear.

What is its source?
