A preposition for “in” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/21). With the article it has the form bi- and without the article b’- or ba, presumably pre-vocalic and pre-consonantal. It was equivalent to ᴱQ. ve “as, like”, which in the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon was derived from the early root ᴱ√VĪ “as” (QL/101). On other pages of the Gnomish Lexicon Tolkien previously had G. avin “into”, G. bi “in”, G. bin “into”, and G. bir “in, within, inside”, all deleted but more in keeping with the Qenya Lexicon root (GL/20, 22).
