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

gen

noun. closed hand, grip

geneth

feminine name. Geneth

gentha-

verb. to grip, seize, lay hold of

A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “grip, seize, lay hold of” based on G. gen “closed hand, grip” (GL/38).

-a

suffix. genitive suffix

Gnomish [GG/10; GL/17] Group: Eldamo. Published by

-n

suffix. genitive suffix

cwîl

adjective. quiet, peaceful, gentle

An adjective appearing as G. {cwild >>} cwîl “quiet, peaceful, gentle” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/28). It is clearly related to ᴱQ. qilda “quiet, hushed, still” based on the early root ᴱ√QḶŘḶ [QḶÐḶ] (QL/78).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would adapt this word as ᴺS. pell fitting the Sindarin phonetic developments from primitive ✱kwildā as originally suggested by Fiona Jallings, but Fiona gave it the same gloss as its Early Qenya equivalent, whereas I would use the glosses “quiet, peaceful, gentle” from Gnomish.

muig

adjective. soft, gentle

muis

noun. softness, tenderness, gentleness

gwectha-

verb. to impregnate, generate

adjective. enduring, long suffering; quiet, gentle, docile

Gnomish [GL/66; LT2A/Rúsitaurion] Group: Eldamo. Published by

rôs

noun. endurance, meekness, patience, gentleness

gaibra-

verb. to impregnate

A verb appearing as G. gaibra- “to impregnate” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, a verb form of G. gaib “pregnant” (GL/37), likely related to primitive ᴱ√giu̯i (GL/39). Elsewhere in this document there was another verb G. gwectha- based on G. gweg “man”, which meant “impregnate” when used with the allative and “generate” when used with the accusative.

Neo-Sindarin: I posit the existence of Neo-Root ᴺ√GIW to serve as the basis for pregnancy words, so I would adapt the above verbs as causative ᴺS. gýda- “to impregnate, make pregnant” < ✱giu̯-tā-, with iu &gt; ȳ as usual in Sindarin.
