Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!
A noun appearing as G. finis or finios “larch” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/35), likely a cognate to ᴱQ. fine “larch” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/38). According to the editors, there was a cross mark near this and some other related words, possibly indicating their deletion.
Neo-Sindarin: Since ᴹQ. fine “larch” survived in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺS. finios “larch” as well for purposes of Neo-Sindarin.
