raib
adjective. scored, striped
The word G. raib “scored, striped” appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on the early root ᴱ√rib [RIPI] (GL/64).
Neo-Sindarin: As we have no later alternatives, I would retain this word for purpose of Neo-Sindarin, but adapted as ᴺS. raeb “scored, striped” with the Sindarin sound change of ancient ai to ae.
