eredh

noun. seed, germ

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “seed, germ” derived from primitive ᴹ✶eredē under the root ᴹ√ERÉD (Ety/ERÉD). An earlier version of the entry instead had N. erð (EtyAC/ERÉD).

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. pim “bead, any small round thing, seed” (GL/64), probably from the early root ᴱ√PINI having to do with small things (QL/73).
