There are more words but they are from Tolkien's earlier conceptional periods. Tolkien likely changed these words as he evolved the aesthetics and completeness of the languages. You may even find languages that Tolkien later rejected. Do not mix words from different time periods unless you are familiar with the phonetic developments.
Below: Tolkien's Late Period (1950–1973). These are from Tolkien's late conceptual period — his most settled forms of the languages. Prefer these over the earlier ones above when composing new text.
A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as G. gumlaith “weariness of spirit, depression, grief”, a combination of G. gûm “burden” and G. blaith “spirit” (GL/43).
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I update this word to ᴺS. faegol “depression, grief” using the later words fae “spirit” and caul “burden, affliction”. Earlier versions of this lexicon had faergol using faer “spirit” instead, but Elaran pointed out that the combination aerg is problematic in a private Discord conversation in 2026.
