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).
