sintamo

smith

sintamo noun "smith" (PE17:107-108), cf. more usual variant tamo, q.v.

sintamo

noun. smith

A word specifically for a “[metal] smith” based on primitive ✶sinkitamo, as opposed to more generic tamo “smith, ✱builder” which can refer to a variety of craftsman (PE17/107-108). Its initial element seems to be a restoration of ᴱQ. sink “mineral, metal, gem” from the 1910s (QL/83), and might be related to Q. sinca “flint”. If so, this word may have originally meant “✱mineral smith”, perhaps referring to the extraction of metal from minerals.

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. tongar “smith”, apparently an agental form ᴱQ. tonga “great hammer” under the early root ᴱ√TOŊO, so more literally “✱hammerer” and thus likely referring to metal smithing (QL/94).

ûr

noun. smith

A noun for “smith” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, related to ᴱQ. uru “fire” and hence based on the early root ᴱ√URU (GL/75; QL/98). In Gnomish Lexicon Slips modifying that document it became {awr >>} ŷr “smith” (PE13/115). See ᴱN. taglon for later “smith” words.

Early Noldorin

taglon

noun. smith

A word as appearing as ᴱN. taglon “smith” in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s (PE13/153), where it was element in ᴱN. Barthaglon or Balthagron “World Smith” (PE13/138). The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had archaic G. †tagor along with modern G. tagros or taglos “smith” (GL/68), elements in G. Martaglos or Maltagros “Smith of the World” (GL/56). These word were likely based on the early root ᴱ√TAKA “fix, fasten” (QL/88).

Neo-Sindarin: In Tolkien’s later writings, the name “World-artificer” became Barthan where the second element was based on ᴹ√TAN “make, fashion” (Ety/TAN; LT1A/Talka Marda). However, I think the earlier words can be salvaged as ᴺS. tagron “smith” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin.
