lui

noun. blueness, livor, livid mark

A noun appearing as G. lui “blueness, livor, livid mark” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/55), hence = “✱bruise”.

Neo-Sindarin: Since √LUY remains the root for “blue” in Tolkien’s later writing (VT48/23), I’d adapt this word as ᴺS. lui “blueness; livor, livid mark, ✱bruise”. Likely “blueness” was the original sense, extended to include blue-coloured bruises on the body.

luithon

noun. sky

A word for “sky” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, an elaboration of G. lui “blueness” (GL/55).

luista-

verb. to be thirsty; to parch, dry up

A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s which can be used transitively for “to parch, dry up” and impersonally to mean “I am thirsty”: luista nin (GL/55). It is based on the early root ᴱ√LOYO (QL/56).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would simply say ni faug for “I [am] thirsty” and would use ᴺS. [G.] thista- for “to dry up” (GL/73).

luis

noun. florescence, blooming

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “florescence, blooming” (GL/54-55), probably related to G. luitha- “bloom, blossom” and derived from the early root ᴱ√LO’O [loχo] (GL/52; QL/55).

Neo-Sindarin: I would update this word to ᴺS. lostad “blooming, florescence”, the gerund of the neologism ᴺS. losta- “to bloom, blossom”.
