Gnomish

theres

noun. tie, ribbon

A word appearing as G. theres “a tie, ribbon” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on G. ther- “to tie” (GL/72).

Neo-Sindarin: In Tolkien’s later writing, √THER meant “sew”, but I think ᴺS. theres “ribbon” could still be based on the later meaning of this root.

Early Primitive Elvish

teme

root. tie

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “tie” with no derivatives (QL/91), but ᴱQ. tendl “string” is derived from ᴱ√teme in The Qenya Phonology (PE12/25) and ᴱQ. Vorotemnar, name of the manacles binding Melko in the earliest Lost Tales, is probably related as pointed out by Christopher Tolkien (LT1/101, 273). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing.
