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

gwidhin

noun. woof

The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. {gwind >>} gwidhin “woof” and G. gwist “weft” based the early root ᴱ√gu̯iđ (GL/46).

Neo-Sindarin: This early root fell out of use in Tolkien’s later writings. The Etymologies of the 1930s had ᴹQ. lanat “weft” under the root ᴹ√LAN “weave” (Ety/LAN), so I’d coin a word ᴺS. lanad “weft, woof” to replace the probably-abandoned Gnomish words.
