inco

pronoun. the same, the identical

nacthanaith

noun. incisor (tooth)

A noun appearing as G. nacthanaith “incisor (tooth)” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of G. nactha- “bite” and G. naith “tooth” (GL/41).

Neo-Sindarin: I would adapt this as ᴺS. nagnel “incisor” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, using the later word [N.] nêl for “tooth”, and with the initial element [N.] nag- “bite”.

numbros

noun. incline, slope

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “an incline, slope” (GL/61), probably a derivative of the root ᴱ√NUHU “bow, bend down; stoop, sink” as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Númë; QL/68).

gam(m)a-

noun/verb. gain, profit, interest (on moneys), increase; to be profitable, bring in revenue; to gain

A word appearing as G. {gamba- >>} gama- or gamma- in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, appearing twice with two different translations: “gain, profit, interest (on moneys), increase” and “to be profitable, bring in revenue; (tr.) to gain” (GL/37). The first set of glosses may be as a noun, despite the “-” at the end of the word form. These words may be related to the early root ᴱ√yṇt from which the adverb G. gantha “more” was derived.

Neo-Sindarin: I would adapt this as a verb ᴺS. ganna- “gain; be profitable, bring in revenue” based on the Neo-Root ᴺ√GYANTA having to do with increase.

nud-

verb. to incline head, bend face down

A verb appearing as G. nud- “incline head, bend face down” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/61), probably based on the early root ᴱ√NUHU “bow, bend down; stoop, sink” (QL/68). There is a similar and probably-related verb G. nunta- “agree” appearing two lines below it.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would combine and adapt these verbs as ᴺS. nunna- “to incline head, bend face down, ✱nod; to assent, ✱agree” based on the later root √NU “sink, go down”, perhaps from primitive ✱nun-tā.
