thin-

verb. to skim

A word appearing as G. thin- “skim” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s along with a variant thinta-, both clearly related to the noun G. thim “milk, after separation” (GL/71-72).

Neo-Sindarin: These 1910s verbs conflict with the later root √THIN “grey” and the verb [N.] thinna- “fade” from ON. thintha-. As such, I adapt this verb as ᴺS. thiv- “to skim” based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√THIM which I used to justify the retention of ᴺS. thim for “milk”.

thinta-

verb. to skim

thlind

adjective. fine, slender

sitha

adjective. this

crinc

noun/adjective. bent and thin; crescent

An adjective in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “bent and thin”, also serving as a noun “crescent” (GL/27), perhaps based on the early root ᴱ√KṚKṚ (QL/48).

fing

adjective. narrow

An adjective for “narrow” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/35), probably related to ᴱQ. fingwa “narrow” and thus derived from the early root ᴱ√FIŊI (QL/38).

gledhrin

adjective. slender

glen(d)rin

adjective. slender

An adjective for “slender” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as glen(d)rin or gledhrin, both elaborations of G. glenn “thin, fine” (GL/39).

glen(n)

adjective. thin, fine, slender

An adjective appearing as glen “slender” in the Gnomish Grammar of the 1910s (GG/11). In the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon it appeared as G. {glen >>} glenn “thin, fine” and was related to G. lenc and ᴱQ. léni (GL/39). It was thus derived from the early root ᴱ√LENE “long” as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (QL/53; LT2A/Glend).

mathwen

noun. evening

musc

adjective. grey

thribin

adjective. lean

The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. thribin “lean” (GL/73) likely based on the early root ᴱ√SIRIPI having to do with various stem/stalk words (QL/84).

Neo-Sindarin: I retain and adapt this early root as ᴺ√THIRIP “stalk”, so I would retain and adapt the Gnomish word as ᴺS. thriben “lean”, using -en as a more typical Sindarin adjective suffix.
