A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s for “garment” derived from the root ᴹ√KHAP “enfold” (Ety/KHAB).
Conceptual Development: Earlier garment words include G. baith “a garment” from the Gnomish Lexicon, ᴱN. baith “clothes, garments, dress” in Early Noldorin word lists of the 1920s (PE13/138) and ᴱN. gwab “garment” in both Early Noldorin word lists and the Early Noldorin Grammar of the 1920s (PE13/123, 146). The collective plural ᴱN. gwablith of this last word was also used for “clothes”.
See N. hammad “clothing” for other similar words.
