Gnomish

sû

noun. noise of wind

A noun appearing as G. sû “noise of wind” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/68), probably derived from the early root ᴱ√SUHYU “air, breath, exhale, puff” as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Súlimo; QL/86).

Neo-Sindarin: Since Q. sú “sound of wind” appears in Tolkien’s later writings (VT47/12), I think ᴺS. sû “noise of wind” still works for Neo-Sindarin.
