Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!
A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “drizzle, sleet” that Tolkien said was related to ᴱQ. tiq- (GL/70) but I suspect G. tibli was actually based on the early root ᴱ√TIPI which was a dialectical variant of ᴱ√TIQI with various rain-related derivatives (QL/92).
