An adjective glossed “handy, skilful” in notes on Eldarin Hands, Fingers and Numerals from the late 1960s as the Sindarin equivalent of Q. maitë.
Conceptual Development: The Etymologies of the 1930s had N. moed derived from ᴹ✶maʒiti “handy, skilled” under the root ᴹ√MAƷ “hand” (Ety/MAƷ), showing the 1930s Noldorin sound change whereby *ai* (sometimes) became *oe* rather than the Sindarin sound change to ae. The Gnomish Lexicon has G. mabol “skilful”, an elaboration of G. mab “hands” (GL/55).
