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

gôg

adjective. clumsy; left (hand)

An adjective appearing as G. gôg in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s meaning both “clumsy” and “left (hand)” (GL/40), probably related to ᴱQ. auk “clumsy fellow” and ᴱQ. auqa “awkward, clumsy” (QL/33). It was the opposite of G. fim “clever, right hand” (GL/35).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would adapt this word as ᴺS. gaug “clumsy” to have better consistency with the Quenya forms, but I would remove the association with left-handedness, since in Tolkien’s later conception the Elves were ambidextrous and had no association between right/left and good/bad (VT49/6-8).

Early Quenya

auqa

adjective. awkward, clumsy (of things), difficult

A word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as ᴱQ. auqa “awkward, clumsy (of things); awkward, difficult”, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. auk “a fool, clumsy fellow” (QL/33).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. auqua for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but mainly in the sense “awkward, clumsy” applicable to both people and things. For “difficult” I would use hraia and hranga.
