flad

noun. sward, grass

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “sward, grass” (GL/35), where “sward” is an obscure English word meaning “an expanse of short grass”. It is likely related to the early root ᴱ√FALA “bare, nude” (QL/37), since Tolkien equated G. fladwen “meadow, grassland” to ᴱQ. fal(a)toisi (GL/35).
