A noun appearing as {nef >>} nîf “front, face” in The Etymologies of the 1930s derived from primitive ᴹ✶nībe under the root ᴹ√NIB of the same meaning (Ety/NIB).
Neo-Sindarin: In Tolkien’s later writings the root seems to have become √NEB “turn towards” as the basis for S. nef “hither” (PE17/27), but nîf might still be derived from primitive ✱nēbe since ancient ē became ī in Sindarin.
