Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Gnomish

fweg

noun. broom

A noun appearing as G. fweg “broom” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/36).

Neo-Sindarin: The fw- in G. fweg is likely the result of ancient sw-, so I would adapt this word as ᴺS. hweg “broom” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin since sw- became hw- in Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s.

Early Primitive Elvish

sweke Speculative

root. broom

ᴱ√SWEKE is a hypothetical root underlying Gnomish “sweep” and “broom” words like G. fweg and G. fwegra- (GL/36), where sw > fw as usual in Gnomish. I would retain this as a (Sindarin-only) Neo-Root ᴺ√SWEK “broom” to salvage these Gnomish words, adapting them with fw >> hw to better fit Sindarin phonology.
