krikw-

verb. krikw-

kṇðṇ

root. shine

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s given as ᴱ√KṆŘṆ “shine” with derivatives in both Qenya and Gnomish, such as ᴱQ. kanda- “blaze”, G. cintha- “to light, set alight”, ᴱQ. kanwa “lurid”, and G. cantha “flame” (QL/47; GL/25-26). It may be a variant of ᴱ√KṚN “✱red” (QL/48). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing.

gṛþṛ

root. *admire, have affection for

A root in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as gṛþ- replacing deleted kṛþ- with derivatives having to do with care and affection (GL/42). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing, and N. garth had the meaning “fort, fortress” in the 1930s (Ety/ƷAR|GARAT) making it likely this root was abandoned.

teme

root. tie

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “tie” with no derivatives (QL/91), but ᴱQ. tendl “string” is derived from ᴱ√teme in The Qenya Phonology (PE12/25) and ᴱQ. Vorotemnar, name of the manacles binding Melko in the earliest Lost Tales, is probably related as pointed out by Christopher Tolkien (LT1/101, 273). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing.
