mailt
noun. a path
G. mal “paved way, road” appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/56), probably related ᴱQ. malle “street” and thus based on the early root ᴱ√MALA “crush, squeeze, pulp” as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (QL/58; LT1A/Olórë Mallë). A similar word ᴱN. mailt “a path” appeared in the Early Noldorin Grammar of the 1920s (PE13/122).
