cas

noun. head, skull

hant

noun. throw, cast; turn or move in games

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “a throw, a cast”, as well as “a turn, move, go, etc. in games and so on” (GL/48), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√HATA (GL/48).

Neo-Sindarin: Since the similar root ᴹ√KHAT “hurl” survived in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain the noun ᴺS. hant “throw, cast” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, with the extended meaning “turn or move in games”.

bail

noun. sheath, case, cover; pod

corob

noun. skull

A word appearing as G. corob “a skull” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/26), likely related to ᴱ√KORO “be round” (QL/48).

Neo-Sindarin: Since √KOR “round” survived in Tolkien’s later conception of the languages, I’d retain this word as ᴺS. corob “skull”, especially since other early “skull” words such as ᴱN. cas derived from ᴱ√KASA “head” were probably no longer viable since non-initial s generally vanished in Sindarin.

baith

noun. garment

bannoth

place name. Mandos

halthi

noun. sheath

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “sheath” and connected to the verb G. hala- “drag, draw, pull” (GL/47), so perhaps “✱something drawn from” and thus more specifically a weapon sheath.

naug

naugli

nauin

nôl

ontha
