An adjective in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “shaggy” which Tolkien said was related to G. tus (GL/72), likely a reference to tûs- (tausi-) “tease wool, comb out” (GL/69). Both these words may also be connected to ✶tou̯ “wool”; compare ᴱQ. aule “shaggy” < ᴱ√OWO, the basis of “wool” words in the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/71).

goloth
noun. forest
A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “forest”, derived from primitive ᴱ✶ŋgua-aloþ- (GL/41). This is likely a combination of ᴱ✶ŋu̯a “together” and some elaboration of the root ᴱ√ALA “spread”, the basis of “tree” words, so probably originally “✱together spread(ing)”. In The Gnomish Grammar it had the form gôloth (GG/8) and in Gnomish Lexicon Slips the form gawlas derived from primitive ᴱ✶ŋgwa-alassa (PE13/114).

A noun for “forest” the Gnomish Lexicon with an archaic variant †aloth, apparently an elaboration of G. âl “wood” (GL/19). In Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s it appeared as ᴱN. aulos “forest”, but this word was deleted (PE13/137).
