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

o

preposition. from

ô

noun. the sea

A word for “the sea” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, derived from primitive ᴱ✶ou̯a and probably based on the early root ᴱ√’O’O (GL/61; QL/70).

ôl

noun. forearm; bough

A noun meaning both “forearm” and “bough” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/62), related to G. alos “forest” and hence likely derived from the early root ᴱ√ALA “spread” (GL/19; QL/29). The long ô was likely the result of the Gnomish sound change whereby long [[g|[ā] became [ō]]] (GG/14). According to the editors ôl had another gloss “knee” that was deleted.

ôf

noun. hood

A word appearing as G. ôf “hood” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s of unclear derivation (GL/62).

Neo-Sindarin: I’d retain ᴺS. ôf “hood” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin as it does not conflict with later words, and could perhaps be derived from ✱√OB.

ôs

noun. bog

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “bog” of unclear etymology (GL/63).

ôm

noun. mind, heart, thought

noun. [unglossed]

ôr

noun. dry sand

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “dry sand”, a cognate of ᴱQ. āra of similar meaning (GL/62; QL/32). The Gnomish form is due to the sound change whereby [[g|[ā] became [ō]]].
