noun. dagger, knife
sigil
noun. dagger, knife
A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s, the cognate of ᴹQ. sikil “dagger, knife”, both derived from the root ᴹ√SIK (Ety/SIK).
Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. crî “a knife” (GL/27), perhaps based on the early root ᴱ√KIRISI (QL/47). In Tolkien’s later writings, S. sigil was glossed “necklace” (WJ/258), but there were no later “knife” words. If this conflict bothers you, you might use the neologism ᴺS. cerf for “knife” instead, a cognate of Q. cirma “knife” from 1969.
