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!

mabwed

adjective. handed, having hands, dextrous

A word appearing as G. mabwed “handed, having hands. dexterous” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjectival form of G. mab “hand(s)” (GL/55). It also appeared with a vocalic augment: G. amabwed “having hands” (GL/19). This augmented form amabwed reappeared in the Gnomish Lexicon Slips modifying that document (PE13/109).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would adapted this word as ᴺS. mabren using a later adjectival suffix: -ren.

mabinos

noun. plane tree

A word in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “plane tree” [perhaps Genus Platanus], apparently an elaboration of the plural mabin of G. mô/mab “hand” (GL/55). Tolkien said it was “usually + aj. fathwed [tasselled]”, presumably ✱mabinos fathwed “tasseled plane tree”. He also said that m. gwilbriniol, presumably G. ✱mabinos gwilbriniol, was another word for “sycamore” and was equivalent to G. mavlantos.

mabwedri

noun. dexterity

A word appearing as G. mabwedri “dexterity” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, an abstract noun form of G. mabwed “dextrous” (GL/55).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would adapted this word as ᴺS. mabrenas “dexterity” as an abstract noun form of S. mabren “dextrous”.

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”.
