lhant
noun. path
G. lant “a level way, high road, street” appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/52), probably based on the early root ᴱ√LATA having to do with level and smooth things (QL/51). G. lant “a road” appeared on a slip illustrating vowel mutations, along with a plural form {laint >>} leint “roads” and its primitive form ᴱ✶lanta (PE13/116). ᴱN. lhant “path” appeared in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s with plural lhaint (PE13/148). Possibly later variants include S. rant “course”; see that entry for details.
