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!

Gnomish

gath

noun. neck

gath

noun. gloom, blight

An (archaic) word for “gloom, blight” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with stem-form gadh-, apparently derived from a variant of ᴱ✶ı̯ādh which was the ancient final element of G. Garioth (GL/37). As such it clearly based on the early root ᴱ√YAÐA with Gnomish form gadh- (QL/105).

lest

noun. gathering, assembly, concourse, moot

hosta-

verb. to gather, collect

A verb appearing as G. hosta- “gather, collect” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/49) likely based on the early root ᴱ√HOSO or ᴱ√ΧOÞ (QL/41).

Conceptual Development: Q. hosta- meant “gather, collect” in Tolkien’s later writings based on the later root √KHOT(H), so I would retain ᴺS. hosta- “to gather, collect” as well, reconceived as a derivative of the later form of the root.

crib-

verb. to gather, pluck

A verb for “gather, pluck” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/27) clearly based on the early root ᴱ√KᴬRPᴬR [KṚPṚ] “pluck” (QL/45) with kṛ- > cri-.

lag-

verb. to gather up, pick up, get

A verb for “gather up, pick up, get” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/52).
