egnor

masculine name. Egnor

In the Lost Tales, this was the name of the father of Beren (LT2/11). In later writings, his name was changed to N, S. Barahir (LB/153, S/105). The name N. Egnor was later reused for the youngest son of S. Finarfin (who was at the time called N. Finrod) before that name was changed to its final form, S. Aegnor.

egelmion

adjective. broadshouldered

An adjective for “broadshouldered” in Gnomish Lexicon Slips of the 1920s (PE13/113), probably containing G. eg “wide” and G. alm “shoulders” like the contemporaneous name G. Egalmoth.

egli(n)

noun. needle

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as G. eglin or egli “needle” based on G. eg “point” (GL/32).

Neo-Sindarin: The root √EK “sharp point” survived in Tolkien’s later writings (WJ/365), so I’d retain ᴺS. eglin “needle” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin.

och

noun. egg

A word appearing as G. och “egg” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/62), likely based on the early root ᴱ√OHO from which Qenya “egg” words were derived (QL/69). It has a somewhat unusual plural form uith, likely from primitive ✱oχ-þ- as suggested by Roman Rausch with the vocalization of to oi which then became ui (HPG/§2.8).

Neo-Sindarin: I’d retain ᴺS. och “egg” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√OKH, but I’d give it a more normal Sindarin plural: ych “eggs”.
