Gnomish

fuglathrod

noun. pipe

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “a pipe”, a combination of G. fuglas “tobacco” and G. rod “tube” (GL/36).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would update this word to ᴺS. galenathrod “(smoking) pipe” using the later word galenas for “tobacco”.

sipi

root. whistle, pipe

The root ᴱ√SIPI “whistle, pipe” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives like ᴱQ. simp(in)a “pipe, flute, flageolot” and ᴱQ. sipi- “pipe” (QL/84). In the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon the derived forms were words like G. thibin “flute” and G. thimpa- “to play a flute or whistle”, indicating an actual root form ✱ᴱ√ÞIPI (GL/73). The Gnomish word G. Simfi “Wailers of the Shore” = ᴱQ. Solosimpe does hint at ᴱ√SIPI (GL/67), but I suspect it is a loan word as opposed to native Gnomish G. Thlossibrim (GL/73).

Neo-Eldarin: For purposes of Neo-Eldarin I think it is worth positing a Neo-Root ᴺ√THIP to salvage early “pipe” and “flute” words.
