A word appearing as G. tast “total, amount” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on G. tath- “count” (GL/69), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√TAÞA (QL/90).
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would update this word to ᴺS. nost “total, amount” taking the later root √NOT “count” and combining it with the suffix ✶-dā “product of an action” (with t-d > st), so originally “✱a product of counting”.
A word appearing as G. {nort >>} nost in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with three distinct meanings: “birth”, “blood = high birth” and “birthday”, though the last sense also applied to the word G. {noss >>} nôs (GL/61). It is clearly based on the early root ᴱ√NŌ “become, be born” (QL/66). G. nosteg seems to be an adjectival variant in the phrase dana nosteg “birthday = ✱day of birth” (GL/61)
Neo-Sindarin: The usual Neo-Sindarin word for “birth” is ᴺS. onnad, gerund of the verb onna- “✱to give birth”; I’m not sure who coined this neologism, but it has been in use for some time.
