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.
