-gen

suffix. *earth

An unglossed suffix in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, final element of G. grosgen “soil”, and cognate to ᴱQ. kēmi “earth, soil, land” (GL/42), and so probably derived from the root ᴱ√KEME “soil” (QL/46).

A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with various glosses: “depart, go, leave”, “c. gen. leave the place of, time of, speaker”, and “go forward” (GL/58). Below it Tolkien wrote another word G. mu whose gloss may be “flow” or “from” according to the editors. This mu may be the basis of the verb mútha-, especially if mu means “from”.
