Gnomish

glonthen

noun. dandelion, (lit.) eye of the day

A word for “dandelion” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as G. glonthen and derived from primitive ᴱ✶glon-χend, effectively a combination of the genitive glôn of G. glâ “day” and G. hen “eye”, and thus more literally “eye of the day” (GL/40).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would update the initial element to be based on the later word S. aur “day”, revising this word to ᴺS. orchen “dandelion, (lit.) day-eye”.
