lad

noun. a level, a flat; fair dealing

bladwen

noun. plain

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “a plain” (GL/23), probably derived from the root ᴱ√PALA “flatness” as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Palúrien; QL/071).

nogin

noun. boy, lad, urchin

A noun appearing as G. nogin “boy, lad, urchin” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/61); its derivation is unclear since no nearby words seem to be related, but it could be a variation on G. naug “a dwarf” (GL/59).

Neo-Sindarin: I think this word may be salvageable as Neo-Sindarin ᴺS. nogen, reinterpretted as a derivative of the root √NUK “stunted”, originally an adjective ✱nukina used to refer to short persons or children in a less-than-flattering way. Given its glosses, I would use this word mainly for a mischievous or irritating male child; for a more ordinary word for “boy”, I’d instead use S. ion(n).

unt

noun. nothing

A word appearing as G. unt or unath “nothing” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with an adjective form G. untha “no, none” (GL/73, 74). It is related to the negative element G. û (GL/73). It may also be related to ᴱQ. munta “nothing” (PE14/48, 81) and based on the early negative root ᴱ√UMU (QL/98).

Neo-Sindarin: Since √UMU continues to appear in Tolkien’s later writings, I retained ᴺS. unt “nothing” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, but adapt the adjective form as ᴺS. ont “no, none” with a-affection of u to o. For an alternative, see ᴺS. lad “nothing, zero”.

gobli

noun. dell

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “dell” (GL/40), an elaboration on G. gob “hollow of hand” so perhaps originally meaning “✱hollowness”.

gontha

noun. boy

unath

noun. nothing
