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!
In Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s, there was a word ᴱN. plados “surf, land's edge” (PE13/152), possibly derived from the early root ᴱ√PALAS whose derivatives include ᴱQ. palastor “surf” (QL/72). The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s instead had a pair of words G. plados and plador with the gloss “oar” (GL/64), probably derived from √PALA “flatness”.
Neo-Eldarin: ᴱN. plados “surf, shoreline” was probably replaced by S. falas, but I think the Gnomish word for “oar” is worth salvaging as a neologism: ᴺS. plador, rederived from the same root √PAL “wide”.
