bar

noun. home, dwelling

barios

masculine name. Barios

baur

noun. house

barod

adverb. homewards, home

An adverb appearing as {bari, barthum >>} barod, barant in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s and glossed “homewards, home”, clearly based on G. bar “(at) home” (GL/21).

barthi

adverb. at home, home

An adverb appearing as barthi, barai in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s and glossed “at home, home”, with a simpler variant G. bar that was likely its basis (GL/21).

barwen

noun. homestead

A noun for “homestead” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of G. bar “home” with the noun suffix G. -wen (GL/21).

bar(n)a-

verb. to dwell in (a land), till (land)

A verb appearing as G. {bartha- >>} bara- or barna- “dwell in, till (tr.)” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/21), clearly derived from the early root ᴱ√MBARA “dwell, live” (QL/63). Its gloss is followed by a parenthentical comment “(land)”. Likely the original sense was “dwell in (a land)”, and from there it gained the sense “✱prepare a landing for dwelling” = “till (land), ✱cultivate”.

Neo-Sindarin: Since √MBAR continues to appear in Tolkien’s later writings, for purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would retain transitive ᴺS. barna- “to till (land), ✱cultivate” with an original sense “to dwell in (a land)”. Given this verb’s association with cultivation, however, I would use the later verb [N.] dortha- as the primary verb for “to dwell, stay, settle, ✱live (in a place)” (Ety/NDOR).

barn

adjective. tilled, inhabited

An adjective appearing as G. barn or baron “tilled, inhabited” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/21), clearly derived from the early root ᴱ√MBARA “dwell, live” (QL/63). As such, likely this word originally meant “inhabited” and the sense was later extended to “inhabited and prepared for cultivation” = “tilled”. As such it likely refers primarily to inhabited land rather than inhabited dwellings, and more specifically to tilled land inhabited by an agricultural people rather than simple hunter-gatherers.

Neo-Sindarin: Since √MBAR continues to appear in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺS. baron “tilled, inhabited” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin.

uivrin

adjective. barren

An adjective appearing as G. uivrin “barren” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed, the negated form of G. ivrin “fertile” (GL/46, 74). It had a variant form G. gwivrin “barren” where with the “ui- being replaced by analogy” (GL/46).

Neo-Sindarin: I would update this word to ᴺS. aliavren “barren” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, based on the updated word ᴺS. iavren “fertile”.

dafros

noun. bark, skin, peel

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “bark, skin, peel”, related to the verb G. daf- “strip, flay, peel skin” (GL/29). In Gnomish Lexicon Slips modifying that document, Tolkien instead gave {daus >>} dâf “bark” (PE13/112).

ilgiol

adjective. barren

A word for “barren” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of G. giol “fecund” with the negative prefix G. il- (GL/50).

môn

noun. bare hill, knoll

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “bare hill, knoll” (GL/57). Its etymology is unclear, but it may have been a variant of G. amon “hill, mount, steep slope” (GL/19).

noun. ferocity, barbarity

tump

noun. shed

A noun appearing as G. tump “shed” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/71), clearly a cognate to ᴱQ. tumpo “shed, barn” which was derived from either ᴱ√TṂPṂ or ᴱ√TUPU (QL/93, 95).

Neo-Sindarin: Since √TUP “cover” survived in Tolkien’s later writings, I think this word can be salvaged as ᴺS. tump “shed”, though it does conflict with [N.] tump “hump”.

-vran

suffix. dwelling

A suffixal form of G. brann (GL/24); see S. barthan for discussion.

gwadhra

adjective. habitable

An adjective appearing as G. gwadhra “habitable” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√[[ep|ŋwa[ð]-]] (GL/47).

Neo-Sindarin: Tolkien abandoned this early root, so I would adapt this word as ᴺS. bardhor “habitable” based on S. bardh “home” (PE17/164).

past

noun. skin

A word for “skin” appearing in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s under G. path “peel, skin, bark” with pl. padhin (GL/63), hence probably related to ᴱQ. parma “skin, bark; parchment; book” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√PARA [✱PAÐA] (QL/72).

porogwil

noun. hen

The word G. porogwil appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s as a combination of G. porog “fowl (domestic)” and G. uil “hen” (GL/64, 74).

Neo-Sindarin: I would adapt this word as ᴺS. porochuil for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, updating the second element to the neologism ᴺS. huil “hen”. The longer form is better distinguished from ᴺS. huil “bitch, female dog”.

redhos

noun. land

sair

adjective. hot

sentha

adjective. russet

turinthir

noun. *queen

turwin

noun. queen

túrin

masculine name. Lord

uil

noun. hen

The word G. uil “hen” appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/74), almost certainly a cognate of ᴱQ. oi “bird, hen” which Tolkien considered deriving from ᴱ√OHO “cry” (QL/69). In Common Eldarin: Noun Structure from the early 1950s, Tolkien had the primitive word ✶kholjē “hen” derived from the root √KHOL “crow, cry aloud” (PE21/82), which may be a later iteration of this Gnomish uil “hen” word.

Neo-Sindarin: Based on the above, Gábor Lőrinczi proposed a neologism ᴺS. hŷl “hen” as recorded in the VQP (VQP). However, my analysis of Sindarin phonology indicates that ᴺS. huil is the more likely result ✶kholjē: compare thuil and thuin plurals of thôn and thôl, and possibly also ruin < ✱runyā and fuir < ✱forya. For further details see the entry on how [[s|final [i] intruded into preceding syllable]] in Sindarin.

In any case, I recommend ᴺS. huil for “hen” in Neo-Sindarin, or its more elaborate form ᴺS. porochuil.

umrod

noun. fate
