lonn

noun. path

tê

noun. line, way, line, way, [G.] track, path; mark

A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “line, way”, derived from primitive ᴹ✶teʒē under the root {ᴹ√TEƷ >>} TEÑ “line, direction” (Ety/TEƷ). Given the change in the root, the primitive form may have become ✱teñē as this would have produced the same result. Alternately, this word may been revised to N. tî “line, row”; see that entry for discussion.

Conceptual Development: In the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, G. tion meant “a straight line” (GL/71) while G. tê or tî meant “mark, line; track; path” (GL/69). The 1910s form tê was derived from ᴱ✶teʒ́e but tî was derived from ᴱ✶tē because long *ē* became *ī*. Compare later N. tê < ᴹ✶teʒē vs. N. tî < ᴹ✶tēñe; see the entry for N. tî for discussion.
