Gnomish

criptha

adverb/adjective. together, in a bunch, bunched-up

The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had an adjective and adverb G. criptha “together, in a bunch, bunched-up” (GL/27), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√KᴬRPᴬR [KṚPṚ] “pluck” with kṛ- > cri- (QL/45). There was an equivalent word G. carpa elsewhere in GL probably derived from ✱kṝpā, but this alternate only functioned as an adverb (GL/25).
