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!
✱ᴱ√FOVO or ✱ᴱ√FOBO is a hypothetical root serving as the basis for words in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s such as G. fôf “fool” and G. fofrin “foolish” (GL/35). I think it is worth retaining as a (Sindarin-only?) Neo-Eldarin root ᴺ√PHOB “fool” to salvage these early words.
