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).
