There are more words but they are from Tolkien's earlier conceptional periods. Tolkien likely changed these words as he evolved the aesthetics and completeness of the languages. You may even find languages that Tolkien later rejected. Do not mix words from different time periods unless you are familiar with the phonetic developments.

Below: Tolkien's Late Period (1950–1973). These are from Tolkien's late conceptual period — his most settled forms of the languages. Prefer these over the earlier ones above when composing new text.
A word glossed “high” in Early Noldorin word lists of the 1920s derived from ᴱ✶dagá (PE13/141, 161). The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s also had G. dâ “high” (GL/29), while the Gnomish Lexicon Slips modifying that document had G. da “high” also derived from ᴱ✶dagá (PE13/112). In Tolkien’s later writings, the root became √TĀ/TAƷ, so these d-forms would have been abandoned.
