tol withernon (ar lim gardhin arthi)

*island of Withernon and many places besides

lendriol

adjective. coming, approaching

An adjective appearing as G. lendriol or lenthol “coming, approaching” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/53). The first is probably an elaboration of len “come, arrive”, and the second is probably a participle form of lentha- “come towards speaker, approach, draw near”.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would instead use the active participle ᴺS. tolol “coming, approaching”.

lenthos

noun. coming, arrival

An noun appearing as G. lenthos or lendri “coming, approaching” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/53). The first is probably a noun form of lentha- “come towards speaker, approach, draw near”, and the second is probably an elaboration of len “come, arrive”. The form lenthos was first given as (deleted) lend.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would instead use the verbal nouns ᴺS. toled “coming, approaching”.

mineth

noun. island

A word in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “island” (GL/57), probably connected to the root ᴱ√MINI in the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon as suggested by Christopher Tolkien, as it was the basis of other words for raised objects like ᴱQ. mindon “turret” (LT1A/Minethlos; QL/061).

salf

noun. bowl, basin

The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. {salpa >> salp >>} salf “bowl, basin” (GL/66), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√SḶPḶ which also had ᴱQ. salpa “bowl” (QL/84).

Neo-Quenya: The Etymologies of the 1930s had N. salff “broth” under the root ᴹ√SALAP (Ety/SÁLAP). To avoid a conflict, I would coin a neologism ᴺS. tolph “bowl, basin” based on ᴱQ. tolpo of the same meaning from Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/142).

salfinc

noun. spoon

A noun appearing as G. salfinc in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, apparently a diminutive form of G. salf “bowl” (GL/66).

Neo-Sindarin: Since I prefer ᴺS. tolph for “bowl” to avoid conflict with N. salff [salph] “broth”, I would update this Gnomish word to ᴺS. tolpheg “spoon” using the later diminutive suffix -eg.

beb

adverb. [unglossed]

brid-

verb. [unglossed]

caum

noun. knob

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “knob” given under the base kava- (GL/25), which is probably the same as the root ᴱ√KAẆA “stoop” from the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon (QL/45).

clidhron

noun. [unglossed]

climbol

noun. [unglossed]

clocthi

noun. pebble
