Gnomish

giol

adjective. fecund; conceiving, having conceived, just pregnant

An adjective in the Gnomish Lexicon with variant forms G. giol, giwol, and giwl as well as glosses “fecund; conceiving, having conceived, just pregnant”, a derivative of the early root ᴱ√giu̯i having to do with pregnancy (GL/39). It demonstrated the Gnomish sound change of iu to io.

Neo-Sindarin: I would adapt this word as ᴺS. gŷl “fecund; having conceived” based on the Neo-Root ᴺ√GIW, since in Sindarin the sound change was iu > ȳ.
