fuis

noun. hoard

There were various words for “hoard” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, all based on the early root ᴱ√foχo and related to ᴱQ. foa “hoard, treasure” (GL/36; QL/38). Of these, only G. fuis and G. fûn were retained, the latter with a variant fufuin. Tolkien had fû “hoard”, but this was revised to fuis. Tolkien also had {fûl >> fund >>} fûn, and {fûlin or fûlim >>} fûn. On another page he had G. fô or fôtha “a hoard”, but these were revised to G. fô “snow” and G. fôtha “it snows” respectively (GL/35). Before their change in meaning, these last two were connected to (rejected) G. fâ- “have, hold, possess” (GL/33).

soth

noun. bath

A noun appearing as G. soth “bath” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s derived from primitive ᴱ✶sou̯þ- (GL/68), where ou became ō as was usual in Gnomish of the 1910s.

Neo-Sindarin: In later Sindarin, ancient ou became ū which would produce sûth, but since this conflicts with N. sûth “draught”, I would coin a neologism ᴺS. sûn “bath” as the cognate of ᴺQ. súnë “bath”.
