faikar
noun. destroyer, slayer; bane
A word appearing as ᴱQ. faikar in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s as the equivalent of G. fecthir “destroyer, slayer; bane” which in turn was derived from G. fectha- “destroy, ruin, spoil” (GL/34).
Neo-Quenya: I have coined ᴺQ. fehta- “destroy” inspired by the Gnomish verb G. fectha-, so I would update this noun to ᴺQ. fehtar “destroyer”. For “slayer” I would instead use nehtar or [ᴺQ.] nahtar as agental forms of the verb nahta- “slay”.
