Gnomish
thol-
verb. to roll
A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as G. thol- {“roll. tr. & intr.” >>} “roll” (GL/73). It could be based on some variant ✱ᴱ√ÞOL of the early root ᴱ√TOL+U from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon which had derivatives like ᴱQ. tolu- “roll up, furl” (QL/94).
Neo-Sindarin: Since we have no later words for “roll”, I would retain ᴺS. thol- “to roll” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin based on a (Sindarin-only) Neo-Root ✱√THOL. That conflicts from 1964 S. thôl “helmet” which is also derived from √THOL (PE17/188), but in 1957 Tolkien derived this helmet word from √STOL instead (PE17/186), leaving room for ᴺS. thol- “roll”.

sol
root. *surf
An unglossed root in The Etymologies of the 1930s with derivatives like ᴹQ. solor “surf” (< ᴹ✶solos) and ᴹQ. Solonyeldi “✱Surf Singers” as another name for the Teleri (Ety/SOL). It is a later iteration of ᴱ√SOLO from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives like ᴱQ. solme “wave” and ᴱQ. solor “surf”, and was in this period the basis for the name ᴱQ. Solosimpe “Shore Piper” (QL/85). Words in the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon like G. thloss “breaker” and G. Thlossibrim = ᴱQ. Solosimpi were derived from primitive thol-, indicating the early form of the root was actually ᴱ√ÞOLO (GL/73), which in Gnomish was intermingled with derivatives of ᴱ√FALA “✱wave” (GL/33, 35).
The etymology of the 1930s ᴹQ. solor “surf” < ᴹ✶solos is problematic, in that it shows final -s > -r, a remnant of ideas from Early Qenya. Tolkien’s use of Q. Falmari “Wave-folk” in later writings as the primary alternate name for the Teleri (S/53; PM/386) calls into question the continued validity of ᴹ√SOL. Nevertheless, I think it is useful to retain this root in Neo-Eldarin to salvage some early words like ᴱQ. sóla “tide”.

Old Noldorin

noun. helmet
In Quenya Notes (QN) from 1957 Tolkien gave the root √STOL “helmet” with derivatives like S. thôl or Q. castol of the same meaning (PE17/186). In etymological notes from around 1964 (DD) Tolkien instead gave √ÞOL “stand up, top” as the basis for these “helmet” words (PE17/188). For purposes of Neo-Eldarin I assume this root is √STOL to allow the retention of G. thol- “roll” for Neo-Sindarin.
