hesc
adjective. withered, dead; chilled, chill
An adjective appearing as G. hesc “withered, dead; chilled, chill” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on the early root ᴱ√heth “wither”, related to G. Hess “winter” (GL/49).
Neo-Quenya: Since I retain ᴺQ. hessa “withered” as a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√KHES, I would retain its Gnomish equivalent as well adapted as ᴺS. hesg “withered”. However, I would use other adjectives for “dead” (fern) or “chill” (ring).
