Gnomish

brant

adjective. cooked, done; overdone

An adjective appearing as G. brant “cooked, done” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, with the more specific connotation of “overdone”, perhaps due to the influence of the verb G. brantha- “scorch” (GL/24).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I retain the Neo-Root ᴺ√BRATH “cook” along with its related derivatives, so I would retain ᴺS. brant as well. For “cooked” without the connotation of “overdone”, I would use the passive participle brannen of the verb ᴺS. brath- “to cook”.

brant

noun. bow (for shooting)

brantha-

verb. to scorch

A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as G. brantha- “scorch”, related to (and possibly derived from) G. brant “cooked, done; overdone” (GL/24).

Neo-Sindarin: I recommend restoring this confluence of Gnomish cooking-related words in Neo-Sindarin based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√BRATH “cook”, and would adapt this word as ᴺS. branna- “to scorch” to better fit Sindarin phonology.

branc

noun. bow (for shooting)

branta

noun. bow (for shooting)

tortha-

verb. to scorch

A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “scorch” (GL/71), probably based on the early root ᴱ√TORO (QL/94).
