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!
A noun appearing as G. gontha- “a pillar, stele, memorial” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, an elaboration of G. gonn “stone” (GL/41). The reason for the “-” at the end of the word is unclear. This word was originally G. gontha- “boy”.
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would update this word to ᴺS. gonnoth “pillar, stele, memorial” with the augmentative suffix -oth, so originally “✱great stone”.
