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!

gûm

noun. burden

ulna-

verb. to ooze

A verb appearing as G. ulna- “ooze” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/74), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√ULU “pour, flow fast” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/97). A rejected verb G. gul- “ooze, trickle” from earlier in GL is probably a precursor reflecting a different conception of the root: ✱ᴱ√ƷULU (GL/43).

Neo-Sindarin: Since √UL “pour” survives in Tolkien’s later writings, I retain but adapt this verb as ᴺS. olla- “ooze, trickle”, the likeliest result of Sindarin phonetic development from primitive ✱ulna-.

harog

noun. wolf

Gnomish [GL/48; GL/75] Group: Eldamo. Published by

harw

noun. wolf

ulug

noun. wolf

urc

noun. wolf

A noun for “wolf” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/75), likely related to ᴱQ. ulku “wolf” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon derived from the early root ᴱ√ULUKU (QL/97). In the Qenya Lexicon Tolkien gave the Gnomish form as ulug, but in the Gnomish Lexicon the gloss of G. ulug was changed {“wolf” >>} “dragon” (GL/74).
