A word for a “small snake” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, along a longer form G. lingos “snake” (GL/54), clearly a cognate of ᴱQ. lin (ling-) “snake” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/54).

cing(win)

noun. spider

A noun for “spider” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with variants cing and cingwin (GL/26). Tolkien indicated this word was related to G. cang “tangled” (GL/25), which was probably based on the early root ᴱ√KAŊA “weave, twine” (QL/45, 98). The i in cing indicates the primitive form was probably kŋ̣g-, since short syllabic nasals became in in Gnomish.
