A word in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “of the same family (in a close sense), consanguine”, an adjectival form of archaic G. †heth “brother or sister” (GL/48). Tolkien specified that it described those “usually having both parents same, but also occasionally = having two grandparents alike”.
