Early Primitive Elvish

fiŋi

root. *narrow

An unglossed root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives having do with narrow things like ᴱQ. fingwa “narrow” and ᴱQ. fingil “narrows, straits, gulf” (QL/38). Both these words have Gnomish cognates: G. fing “narrow” and G. fingli “a narrow place, straits, a sound, a pass in mountains” (GL/35). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing.
