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

ther-

verb. to tie

A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “to tie” (GL/72), probably based on the early root ᴱ√SERE “twine, tie, bind” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon, whose true form was probably ✱ᴱ√ÞERE (QL/83). In Tolkien’s later writings, √THER was “sew”; see that entry for details.
