Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Gnomish

-iof

suffix. -bearing

A suffix in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as G. -iof “-bearing”, related to the verb G. gav- “produce, yield, bear fruit” and based on the early root ᴱ√ı̯aƀa [ẎAVA] (GL/38). It was used in words like G. codiof “nutbearing” (GL/26), so referred only the bearing of produce as opposed to burdens in general.

Neo-Sindarin: Since the root ᴹ√YAB survived in Tolkien’s later writing, this Gnomish suffix may be salvages as ᴺS. -iof “-bearing”.
