A word for “father” in the Gnomish Lexicon Slips (PE13/111). In the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s itself, G. babi or baba was “mummy, mamma” (GL/21, 57). As pointed out by Gilson, Welden, Hostetter and Wynne, there is a complementary change of {nân “father” >>} G. nân “mother” elsewhere in the Gnomish Lexicon Slips (PE13/115).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would adapt this as ᴺS. ball “worthy, important” to be equivalent ᴱQ. valda, as originally suggested by Elaran in a 2018-08-03 post to the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS). I would not use this word for “great, might”, however.
