Gnomish

ham

noun. ground, level of Earth’s service [surface]

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “ground, level of Earth’s service” (GL/48); the editors suggested that “service” is almost certainly a slip for “surface”. It is clearly a cognate of ᴱQ. han (ham-) “ground, earth”, and so must be derived from the same root ᴱ√HAMA (QL/39).
