tambos

noun. cauldron

A noun appearing as G. tambos “a cauldron” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/69). It is likely based on the early root ᴱ√TAMA “beat; smelt, forge” referring to the cauldron’s construction from beaten metal (QL/88).

Neo-Sindarin: The root √TAM appeared in Tolkien’s later writing in connection to craft words, so I would retain and adapt this word as ᴺS. tammos “cauldron” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin.

tambin

noun. cauldron

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. tambin (tambind-) in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s somewhat cryptically glossed “a copper or cauldron”, derived from the early root ᴱ√TAMA “beat; smelt, forge” (QL/88). It also appeared in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the same period, with the more straightforward gloss “cauldron” (PME/88).

Neo-Quenya: The root √TAM appeared in Tolkien’s later writing in connection to craft words, so I would retain this word as ᴺQ. tambin “cauldron” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
