Gnomish

uf

preposition. out of, forth, from

A word in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “out of, forth, from”, said to be the equivalent of ᴱQ. ū (GL/74). The closest form in the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon is ᴱQ. ū “beneath” under the early root ᴱ√Ū “under” (QL/96), but the Gnomish word hints at a different root, perhaps ✱ᴱ√UVU. Compare G. gôf versus ᴱQ. yáva < ᴱ√ẎAVA (GL/38; QL/105).
