A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “an eye; a bud” (GL/72), likely derived from the early root ᴱ√SEHE [ÞEHE] with various derivatives having to do with sight and eyes in the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/82). In later writings the basis for eye-words was √KHEN (PE17/187; Ety/KHEN-D-E).
