A word for “small” in the Gnomish Lexicon with variants ineg and G. inc (GL/51). Tolkien said this word was “especially used in quantitative sense as opposite of odog [great]”, as in inig bast no odog saith “✱small bread then great hunger”. It was clearly based on the early root ᴱ√INI “small” (QL/42).
