hunc

noun. pig

A noun appearing as G. hunc “pig” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s of unclear derivation (GL/49).

Neo-Sindarin: I’d retain this word as ᴺS. hunc for purposes of Neo-Sindarin as there are no good alternatives.


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!

Early Quenya

polka

noun. pig

The word ᴱQ. polka “pig” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, under the early root ᴱ√POLO “have strength”, but Tolkien marked it with a “?” (QL/75). However, it appeared elsewhere as an element in ᴱQ. karkapolka “boar” = “✱tusk pig” (QL/48).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain this word as ᴺQ. polca for purposes of Neo-Quenya, since √POL survived in Tolkien’s later writings.
