Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Gnomish

nith

noun. wax

A noun for “wax” in Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s derived from primitive ᴱ✶nēgittĕ (GL/60).

nitha

noun. a candle

A noun appearing as {nithla >>} nitha “a candle” in Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, an elaboration of G. nith “wax” (GL/60). According to the editors, the deletion of the l might have been a smudge, but this word was followed by another one: G. {nithlafast >>} nithla “candlestick”. This supports the notion that “candle” was revised to nitha.

nithla

noun. candlestick

A noun appearing as {nithlafast >>} nithla “candlestick” in Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, based on G. {nithla >>} nitha “candle” (GL/60). The second element of the deleted form was the (also deleted) word G. fast “holder, stand” (GL/33).
