Gnomish

don

pronoun. who

Gnomish [GL/30; GL/55] Group: Eldamo. Published by

dont

noun. fall, bump, drop

carn

adjective. done, finished

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”.

samin

adjective. arranged, settled, done

An adjective appearing as G. samin or sam “arranged, settled, done, etc.” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, based on the verb G. sam- “arrange, put together, adjust, settle, reconcile” (GL/67).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would update this to ᴺS. pannen “arranged, settled, done” based on the root √PAN of similar meaning.

sam

adjective. arranged, settled, done

dod-

verb. to fall down, drop

A verb appearing as G. dod- “fall down, drop” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/30), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√ÐOTO “drop, fall” (QL/86).

Neo-Sindarin: There is a later verb danna- “fall”, but no later verb for “drop”, so I would retain ᴺS. dod- “to drop” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√DOT of the same meaning.

noun. hand
