Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!
A hypothetical triconsonantal root underlying words like ᴱQ. likin “horn, curled horn” and G. ligin “curved horn, trump” in the Qenya and Gnomish Lexicons of the 1910s (QL/54; GL/54). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing.
