log-

verb. to curl (intr.), bend (intr.), wind (twine round anything), twine

A verb glossed {“curl (tr.), braid hair, tie” >>} “curl (intr.), bend (intr.), wind (twine round anything), twine” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/54), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√LOKO “twine, twist, curl” (QL/55). Tolkien probably decided this verb was intransitive while introducing G. loctha- “curl (tr.), bend, wind, twine, tie knot, tangle” immediately below it.

Neo-Sindarin: I adapt G. loctha- as ᴺS. loetha- “to curl, bend, wind, twine” to better fit Sindarin phonology, and I would use it both transitively and intransitively, because I prefer to use ᴺS. log- to mean “haul, drag, pull, draw”.

durufui

proper name. Yule, (lit.) Log-night

duru

noun. wood; pole, beam, log

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “wood; a pole, beam or log” (GL/31), likely related to the early root ᴱ√TUŘU from the Qenya Lexicon as suggested by Christoper Tolkien (LT1A/Turuhalmë; QL/096), itself probably a blending of TUÐU and DURU.

blantos

noun. sycamore

A word for “sycamore” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, apparently a noun form of G. blant “flat”, likely referring to its leaves and possibly a reduced form of G. mavlantos of the same meaning (GL/23).

lalm

noun. elm, elm-wood

larm

noun. elm, elm-wood

mabinos gwilbriniol

noun. sycamore

mavlantos

noun. sycamore

A word appearing as G. mavlantos “sycamore” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, apparently a blending of G. mavlant “palm” and G. blantos “sycamore” (GL/23, 55). This word likely refers to the sycamore’s flat and palm-like leaves.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would adapt this word as ᴺS. mablanthos, a noun formation based on mâb and [ᴺS.] plant “flat”.

tund

noun. log for the fire

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s given as G. tund “a log for the fire” and derived from ᴱ√tudh- (GL/42).

Neo-Sindarin: I think this word may be salvaged in Neo-Sindarin as ᴺS. tund, a general word for “firewood” based on the Neo-Root ᴺ√TUD.
