rod
noun. tube, stem
The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. rod “tube, stem” based on the early root ᴱ√roto “hollow” (GL/65; QL/80).
Neo-Quenya: In Tolkien’s later writings, √ROT still had similar meanings like “tunnel” (WJ/414; PM/365), so I would retain ᴺS. rod “tube, stem” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, and use it for “✱pipe” as well.
