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

auth

noun. sunshine, warmth; noontide

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “sunshine, warmth; noontide” (GL/20), likely a derivative of the early root ᴱ√AWA “burn; be parched, yellow, warm” (QL/33). It also appeared as unglossed {ôth >>} auth in the Gnomish Lexicon Slips modifying this document (PE13/111).

authmadri

noun. midday meal

A noun appearing as G. authmadri “midday meal” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of G. auth “noontide” and G. madri “meal” (GL/20).

Neo-Sindarin: I would update this word to ᴺS. nedhwad “lunch, (lit.) middle-meal” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin using my preferred word [G.] mâd for “meal” with the prefix [N.] nedh- “mid”, where ancient dm became dhw; compare S. haðw “seat” < ✶khadmā (PE22/148).

authmeg

noun. midday, high noon

turm

noun. authority, rule; strength

polod

noun. power, might, authority

A noun appearing as G. polod “power, might, authority” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, clearly based on the early root ᴱ√POLO “have stength” (GL/64).

Neo-Sindarin: Since ᴹ√POL(OD) still had to do with “strength” in Tolkien’s later writings, I’d adapt this word as ᴺS. polodh “power, might, authority”, and assume some amount of semantic drift from physical strength to political authority.
