Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Gnomish

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.

verb. to scorch

A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as G. brantha- “scorch”, related to (and possibly derived from) G. brant “cooked, done; overdone” (GL/24).

Neo-Sindarin: I recommend restoring this confluence of Gnomish cooking-related words in Neo-Sindarin based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√BRATH “cook”, and would adapt this word as ᴺS. branna- “to scorch” to better fit Sindarin phonology.
