Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Gnomish

nib

noun. snowflake

A word appearing as G. nib “snowflake” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/60), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√NIQI “white” (QL/66), since medial and final q became p and then b.

Neo-Sindarin: I think this word can be salvaged as Neo-Sindarin ᴺS. nibis “snowflake”, cognate of Q. niquis.

teb

noun. point, nib, neb, nose

A word in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “point, nib, neb, nose” (GL/69). Its derivation is unclear.

tenc

noun. pen, nib

eg

noun. point
