Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!
Gnomish
beg
noun. chin
A noun appearing as G. beg “chin” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, along with a more elaborate form G. bectha “tip; chin” and (deleted) G. begl “beard” (GL/22). Tolkien connected the word G. beg “chin” to ᴱQ. pē “mouth” (GL/22) and not to ᴱQ. venta “chin” from contemporaneous the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√VETE (QL/101).
Neo-Quenya: It is hard to reconcile either beg or bectha with primitive forms from later iterations of the languages, so I’d instead coin a neologism ᴺS. bened “chin” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, cognate of ᴺQ. venta “chin” and derived from a Neo-Root ᴺ√BENET based on ᴹ√BEN “angle”.
