Gnomish

ruin

adjective. inhabited, tilled

A word for “inhabited, tilled” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s listed below G. “dwelling, house” (GL/66), thus likely related to ᴱQ. “dwelling, village” derived from the early root ᴱ√RU’U (QL/80).

fectha-

verb. to destroy, ruin, spoil

A verb appearing as G. fectha- “destroy, ruin, spoil” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, related to G. fêg “bad, poor, wretched” (GL/34) and thus probably based on an unattested the early root ✱ᴱ√FEKE.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would adapt this verb as ᴺS. feitha- “destroy, ruin, spoil” based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√PHEK, with the vocalization of ekth to eith.

teraith

noun. waste, ruin, destruction

A noun appearing as G. teraith or tereth “waste, ruin, destruction” in the Gnomish Lexicon related to the verb G. tertha- “devour, destroy” (GL/70).

Neo-Sindarin: Since I retain ᴺS. tertha- “destroy” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would adapt this noun as ᴺS. terthas “waste, ruin, destruction” to more closely align to the verb.

cantha

noun. flame

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “flame” (GL/25), probably based on the early root ᴱ√KṆŘṆ [KṆÐṆ] “shine” (QL/47).
