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

glis

adjective. sweet

glist

noun. sugar

In the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s the word for “sugar” was G. glist along with a longer variant G. glissith where the second element was G. thith “dust” (GL/39). The word glist was likely derived from the early root ᴱ√LISI “sweetness” (QL/54-55).

Neo-Sindarin: Since √LIS survived as the basis for “sweet” words in Tolkien’s later writings, I’d retain ᴺS. glist “sugar” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin.
