Gnomish

leg

adjective. keen, sharp, piercing

dramborleg

proper name. Thudder-sharp

The axe of Tuor, translated “Thudder-sharp”, appearing in various early name lists along with its shorter form Drambor (LT2/203; PE13/103; PE15/22). This name seems to be a combination of drambor “thudder” and leg “sharp”, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT2A/Dramborleg; LT1A/Tári-Laisi). Its Elvish name did not appear in later works (UT/172).

A noun for “stem” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/73), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√SIRIP (QL/84). It had a dialectical variant G. fripthon, but that word was glossed “stalk” (GL/36).
