Sindarin
tachol
noun. clasp, brooch, brooch, clasp, [N.] pin
A word glossed “clasp, brooch” in both versions of Tengwesta Qenderinwa from the 1930s (TQ1: PE18/51) and around 1950 (TQ2: PE18/100) derived from primitive ✶tankla based on the root √TAK “fix, fasten”. N. tachol also appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√TAK “fix, make fast” where it had the same derivation but the glosses “pin, brooch” (Ety/TAK). This word illustrates the phonetic development whereby final l became syllabic and developed into -ol in Sindarin/Noldorin.
