A noun ᴱN. gwib “teors” (Old English = “penis”) appeared in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s derived from ᴱ✶wiqē, along with an archaic variant ᴱN. †gwî of the same meaning from primitive ᴱ✶wiı̯ḗ (PE13/146, 162).
Neo-Sindarin: I’d adapt these words as ᴺS. gwîb “penis” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin with long î, derived from ✱wēkwē based on a variant of the root ᴹ√WEG having to do with vigour.
