Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

laf

noun. loose-end, end of rope, hem of robe

A noun appearing as G. laf “loose-end, end of rope, hem of robe, etc.” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with a Qenya cognate ᴱQ. lappa (GL/52). It is likely based on the early root ᴱ√LAPA “enfold” (QL/51).

Neo-Sindarin: Since √LAP “fold, bend” survives in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain this word but adapted as ᴺS. laph “loose-end, end of rope, hem of robe” to better fit Sindarin orthography.

lumfod

place name. Gloomy End

Name of the “third dwelling of Melko” in notes associated with the earliest Lost Tales (LT2/279). It was glossed “Gloomy End” in the Gnomish Lexicon (GL/55), a combination of lum “cloud” and fod “end”.
