len

adjective. come, arrived

An adjective appearing as G. len “come, arrived” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/53), likely based on the early root ᴱ√LEHE “come, be sent, approach” (QL/52). Tolkien said it was “used also with the forms im, on [emphatic pronouns], etc., as a perfect. ‘I have or am come’ as im len, um lenin, etc.”.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would instead use the perfective active participle ᴺS. túliel “having come, having arrived”.

len

adverb. wherewith, far, long, away

lenwi

noun. length, distance

lenu-

verb. to stretch, extend in length, trail; ?to approach

A deleted verb from the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “to stretch, extend in length, trail” (GL/53), the equivalent of ᴱQ. lenu- “stretch” under the early root ᴱ√LENE “long” from the contemporaneous Quenya Lexicon (QL/53). In the Gnomish Lexicon, Tolkien also had G. lenu- as a possible equivalent to G. lentha- “approach”, but this second instance of lenu- was marked with a “?” (GL/53).

lenthos

noun. coming, arrival

An noun appearing as G. lenthos or lendri “coming, approaching” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/53). The first is probably a noun form of lentha- “come towards speaker, approach, draw near”, and the second is probably an elaboration of len “come, arrive”. The form lenthos was first given as (deleted) lend.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would instead use the verbal nouns ᴺS. toled “coming, approaching”.

lendriol

adjective. coming, approaching

An adjective appearing as G. lendriol or lenthol “coming, approaching” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/53). The first is probably an elaboration of len “come, arrive”, and the second is probably a participle form of lentha- “come towards speaker, approach, draw near”.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would instead use the active participle ᴺS. tolol “coming, approaching”.
