elegrin
adjective. different, strange
A word appearing as G. elegrin {“singular, unique” >>} “different, strange” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on G. eleg {“single, only, unique” >>} “other, else” (GL/32). It was accompanied by G. elfel {“unique, unparalled” >>} “different, like something else”.
Neo-Sindarin: Since I update G. eleg to ᴺS. egel “other” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would revise both these adjectives to to ᴺS. egelren “different, strange”.
