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!

Gnomish

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.
