mavri
noun. appetite
A noun appearing as G. mavri “appetite” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, an abstract noun formation based on the early root ᴱ√MAɃA “something nice” (GL/57).
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I adapt this word as ᴺS. mavor “appetite”, perhaps an ancient agental formation (“that which likes”) from the Neo-Root ᴺ√MAB.
