Gnomish

flad

noun. sward, grass

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “sward, grass” (GL/35), where “sward” is an obscure English word meaning “an expanse of short grass”. It is likely related to the early root ᴱ√FALA “bare, nude” (QL/37), since Tolkien equated G. fladwen “meadow, grassland” to ᴱQ. fal(a)toisi (GL/35).

noun. skin

A word for “skin” appearing in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s under G. path “peel, skin, bark” with pl. padhin (GL/63), hence probably related to ᴱQ. parma “skin, bark; parchment; book” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√PARA [✱PAÐA] (QL/72).
