The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. ausin “rich”, probably an adjectival form of G. avos “wealth, fortune, prosperity” (GL/20). Gnomish Lexicon Slips modifying that document instead had awsin or awsirol, glossed “fortune” and connected by a brace (PE13/111). Though translated as nouns, both awsin or awsirol appear to be adjectives, the latter an adjectival form of G. awsir “fortune”. Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s had ᴱN. {aurin >>} awes “rich” with variants gwes and gwest.
