ewe
root. *lamb
A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s serving at the basis for the word ᴱQ. eule “lamb” (QL/36). It is likely also the basis for G. iol “lamb” (GL/51) given how [[g|[eu], [iu] became [io] or [iu]]] in Gnomish (PE15/13). These words might be salvaged for purposes of Neo-Eldarin using a (hypothetical) root ✱√EW(EL), though the Neo-Sindarin word for “lamb” would need to become ᴺS. ŷl to reflect Sindarin phonology.
