Gnomish

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.
