A Qenya word or word-element in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s derived from primitive giu̯i, the basis for G. giothra- “germinate” and so perhaps of similar meaning (GL/39). It demonstrates how primitive initial g became k in Early Qenya of the 1910s. There is nothing in the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon of similar form and meaning.
