- A noun appearing as ᴱQ. sist “ulcer, sore” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SṢTYṢ (QL/86). In the Early Qenya Phonology it was siste “ulcer, boil” from primitive ᴱ✶sṣtē (PE12/14).
Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. sistë “ulcer, sore, boil” for purposes of Neo-Quenya based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√SISTI.

- G. gund n. “boil, pus”
- A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon with variants G. gund, hunn and glosses “a boil, pus”, derived from the early root ᴱ√gudh having to do with heat and burning (GL/42).
Neo-Sindarin: Since it seems ᴱ√gudh >> √UR “heat, be hot”, I’d update this word to ᴺS. ordh “boil, pus” < *urdā = “(orig.) the product of burning”.
- N. harn adj. “wounded”
- An adjective for “wounded” in The Etymologies of the 1930s derived from primitive ᴹ✶skarnā under the root ᴹ√SKAR “tear, rend” (Ety/SKAR).

Conceptual Development: The word ᴱN. harw “wound” also appeared in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s, likewise derived from primitive ᴱ✶skar-wé (PE13/147).
Neo-Sindarin: Many Neo-Sindarin writers adapt this word as ᴺS. haru to better fit Sindarin orthography, as suggested in Hiswelókë’s Sindarin Dictionary (HSD).
- G. tîl n. “scab, cicatrice, healing of a wound”
- A noun appearing as G. tîl “cicatrice, scab, healing of a wound” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√TELE “cover in” (GL/70), hence probably referring to the scab as the covering of a wound. Likely the primitive form was *tēl- since ancient ē became ī in Gnomish.
Neo-Sindarin: The root √TEL-U was still associated with roofs and coverings in Tolkien’s later writings, and the sound change ē > ī also remained a feature of Sindarin, so I’d retain this word as ᴺS. tîl “scab, cicatrice, healing of a wound” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, perhaps from primitive *tēlŭ.
