Doriathrin

esg

noun. sedge, reed

A noun meaning “sedge” derived from the root ᴹ√ESEK (Ety/ESEK), probably from a primitive form ✱✶eseke. The middle [e] was lost due to the Ilkorin syncope, and afterwards the [[ilk|[esk] became [esg]]], as suggested by Helge Fauskanger (AL-Ilkorin/esg).

esg

noun. rustle, noise of leaves

A rejected noun meaning “rustle, noise of leaves” derived from the root ᴹ√EZGE (Ety/EZGE). Its (rejected) Quenya cognate ᴹQ. eske indicates a primitive form ✱✶eseke, despite the root form. If so, middle [e] was lost due to the Ilkorin syncope, and afterwards the [[ilk|[esk] became [esg]]].
