marilla
pearl
ëarsil
noun. pearl, (lit.) sea-sheen
A neologism for a “pearl” coined by Paul Strack on 2022-04-10 on the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS) as a combination of ëar “sea” and √SIL “shine”, so literally “sea-sheen”. It replaced an earlier neologism ëassar by Elaran where the second element was sar “(small) stone”, because “sea-stone” is a bit too prosaic.

brithla

A word for “pearl” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/24), the equivalent of ᴱQ. marilla and hence derived from the early root ᴱ√MṚÐṚ “grind” (QL/63).
Conceptual Development: In Tolkien’s later writings this early Gnomish word seems to have been replaced by S./N. brith “gravel” (UT/54; Ety/BIRÍT).
