A noun for “axe” attested as the name S. Hathol “The Axe”, an ancestor of Tuor (WJ/234). Compare this to [N.] hathel “broadsword-blade, axe-blade” from the root ᴹ√SYAD in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/SYAD).
Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. peleg “axe” (GL/64), a word that reappeared as ᴱN. peleg “axe” in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s (PE13/152). In the 1910s, G. Peleg was the name of the father of Tuor (later = Huor).
