Early Quenya

ohte

noun. egg

A word appearing as ᴱQ. ohte “egg” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√OHO (QL/69). It had a stem form oksi- (< ✱oχti-) because [[eq|[ti] often became [si]]] in Early Quenya.

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. ohtë “egg” for purposes of Neo-Quenya based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√OKH, but without the abnormal stem form.

Gnomish

och

noun. egg

A word appearing as G. och “egg” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/62), likely based on the early root ᴱ√OHO from which Qenya “egg” words were derived (QL/69). It has a somewhat unusual plural form uith, likely from primitive ✱oχ-þ- as suggested by Roman Rausch with the vocalization of to oi which then became ui (HPG/§2.8).

Neo-Sindarin: I’d retain ᴺS. och “egg” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√OKH, but I’d give it a more normal Sindarin plural: ych “eggs”.
