lim

noun. sheaf, bundle

limfa

noun. drink of the fairies

A noun appearing as G. limp and longer limpelis in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with the gloss “the drink of the fairies” (GL/54). Tolkien tentatively revised these in pencil to limfa and limfelis, and these two forms appeared in a name list from this same period (PE15/7). These forms did not appear again, but its Quenya cognate ᴹQ. limpe “wine” appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/LIP).

miros

mîr

noun. wine

The words for “wine” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s were (archaic) G. †mîr and (ordinary) G. miros (GL/57), both related to ᴱQ. miru “wine” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/61).

Neo-Sindarin: In Tolkien’s later writing, S. mîr was “jewel” and S. miruvor was a loan word from Q. miruvórë, where the initial element was based on Val. mirub “wine” (PE17/37-38; WJ/399). As such I use ᴺQ. miru for “wine”, and I would also used ᴺS. miru for “wine” as another loan word from Quenya and an element in S. miruvor. This assumes both “wine” (from grapes) and miruvor were drinks introduced by the Noldor.
