Gnomish

ethl(in)

noun. ivy

A noun appearing as G. ethl(in) “ivy” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s derived from primitive ᴱ✶etḷ-, where tl became thl in Gnomish of the 1910s (GL/33).

Neo-Sindarin: There is no sign of tl > thl in later Sindarin, so I would adapt this word as ᴺS. edol “ivy” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin.
