adjective. free, unconstrained

fairtha-

verb. to set free, release

fairthos

noun. liberty

glaim

adjective. serene, clear, fair (espec. of weather)

An adjective in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as G. glaim “serene, clear, fair, espec. of weather” (GL/39), a cognate of ᴱQ. kalaina of similar meaning and hence based on the early root ᴱ√KALA [✱ᴱ√GALA] “shine golden” (QL/44).

Neo-Sindarin: I think G. glaim can be salvaged as ᴺS. glaen, since √GAL was still associated with light in Tolkien’s later writings, but I would derive it instead from the root ᴹ√GALAN “bright”, perhaps from ✱g(a)laina.

glaimri

noun. serenity, fair weather

A word in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as G. glaimri “serenity, fair weather”, an abstract noun form of G. glaim “serene, clear, fair (espec. of weather)” (GL/39).

Neo-Sindarin: If adapting this word to Neo-Sindarin, I would make it an abstract noun form based on Neo-Sindarin ᴺS. glaen “serene, fair (weather)”, hence: ᴺS. glaenas “serenity, fair weather”.

limfa

noun. drink of the fairies

A noun appearing as G. limp and longer limpelis in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with the gloss “the drink of the fairies” (GL/54). Tolkien tentatively revised these in pencil to limfa and limfelis, and these two forms appeared in a name list from this same period (PE15/7). These forms did not appear again, but its Quenya cognate ᴹQ. limpe “wine” appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/LIP).

mîr

noun. wine

The words for “wine” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s were (archaic) G. †mîr and (ordinary) G. miros (GL/57), both related to ᴱQ. miru “wine” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/61).

Neo-Sindarin: In Tolkien’s later writing, S. mîr was “jewel” and S. miruvor was a loan word from Q. miruvórë, where the initial element was based on Val. mirub “wine” (PE17/37-38; WJ/399). As such I use ᴺQ. miru for “wine”, and I would also used ᴺS. miru for “wine” as another loan word from Quenya and an element in S. miruvor. This assumes both “wine” (from grapes) and miruvor were drinks introduced by the Noldor.
