A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “hair, long tresses”, a term Tolkien said was used especially of women (GL/33). Its primitive form appearing on another page as ᴱ✶fīđ’lī (GL/35).

fidhra

noun. collective hair

A noun appearing as G. fidhra “collective hair” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/35) clearly derived from the early root ᴱ√FIŘI [FIÐI] (QL/38). It may refer to “✱all hair on the body” given its elaboration G. fidhrad “hairy, hirsute”.

Neo-Sindarin: I would adapt this word as ᴺS. fidhras, generalized from the adjective ᴺS. fidhren “having hair”.

A word in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “having long hair”, an adjectival form of G. faigli “hair” (GL/33). Tolkien said it was used especially as a proper name, Faiglim, for the Sun at Noon.
