noun. sticky substance, mire
A word in both the Outline of Phonetic Development (OP1) of the 1940s and the Outline of Phonology (OP2) of the 1950s, where it was glossed “sticky substance, mire” (PE19/48) and “mire” (PE19/101). In both places, it was derived from ✶mazgō, and served to illustrated the sound change whereby [[aq|[z] plus voiced stop became unvoiced]] (zg > sk > ks = x) in Ancient Quenya.
