bog
noun. price, cost
A word appearing as ᴱN. bog “price, cost” in the Early Noldorin Dictionary of the 1920s, clearly based on ᴱN. bag- “trade” and the early root ᴱ√VAKA (PE13/160; QL/99).
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would adapt this word as ᴺS. bauch “price, cost” based on the later root ᴹ√MBAKH “exchange”, from primitive ✱mbākha.
