sing

noun. salt

A noun appearing as G. sing “salt” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/67), clearly the cognate of ᴱQ. singe “salt” and hence derived from the early root ᴱ√SIŊI (QL/83).

Neo-Sindarin: I’d retain ᴺS. sing “salt” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin as a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√SIÑGI.

singrin

adjective. salt

A word appearing as G. singrin “salt (aj.)” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjective form of G. sing “salt” (GL/67).

Neo-Sindarin: I’d adapt this word as ᴺS. singren “salt[y]” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin using a more common Sindarin adjective suffix.

singe

noun. salt

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. {singi >>} singe “salt” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s and under the early root ᴱ√SIŊI (QL/83). The contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa had ᴱQ. singi “salt” (PME/83). Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s had ᴱQ. singwe “salt” (PE16/145).

Neo-Sindarin: Of these various forms, I’d use ᴺQ. singë for “salt” for best compatibility with [G.] sing “salt”, but would assume its stem form is singi- and that it was a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√SIÑGI.

singwa

adjective. salt

A word appearing as ᴱQ. singwa “salt (aj.)” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjective form of ᴱQ. singe “salt” (QL/83).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. singwa “salt[y]” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

singwe

noun. salt

tarqin(a)

noun/adjective. salted, dried; salt meat

A word appearing as ᴱQ. tarqin or tarqina “adj. salted, dried; (n.) salt meat” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. tarqa- “dry, preserve; pickle” under the early root ᴱ√TṚQṚ (QL/94). As such, it was probably originally an adjective, and its noun use for “salt meat” was based on that (= “✱preserves”).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. tarquin(a) “salt meat; salted, dried, ✱(orig.) preserved” for purposes of Neo-Quenya based on the Neo-Root ᴺ√TARKWA.
