cwim

adjective. awake, alert, alive

An adjective appearing as G. cwim “awake, alert, alive” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s from the early root ᴱ√QIV (GL/28).

Neo-Sindarin: I would adapt this word as ᴺS. cui(w) “awake, alert” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, inspired by the second element of S. echui(w) “awakening”, but for “alive” I’d use [N.] cuin.

cwim(ri)

noun. body, flesh

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as cwim² “body, flesh” underneath G. cwim “awake, alert, alive”, with both apparently being derived from the early root ᴱ√QIV (GL/28); if so the sense “body” probably represent some amount of semantic drift, since the corresponding Qenya forms primarily had the sense “awake” (GL/29). The form cwim² had a variant cwimbri in which the b was deleted, though the editors said it was also possibly that cwimbri >> cwimru.
