Gnomish

gavon

noun. harvest (time)

A noun appearing as G. gavon {“harvest” >>} “harvest (time)” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on the early root ᴱ√ı̯aƀa [YAɃA] (GL/38), since in Gnomish of the 1910s an initial y usually became g (HPG/§2.1).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would assign the sense “✱harvest (time)” to S. iavas “autumn”, since its Quenya cognate Q. yávië meant both “autumn” and “harvest” (LotR/1107, 1111).
