ᴺS. [G.] ^munnost n. “byre, cowhouse” (Category: Cow)

ᴺS. [G.] ^munnost, n. “byre, cowhouse” (Category: Cow)
See G. mûst for discussion.

Elements

S. mund “bull”
S. ost “fort, fortress, stronghold, citadel; fortified town; enclosure”

G. mûst n. “byre, cowhouse” (Category: Cow)

A word appearing as G. mûst “byre, cowhouse” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of G. “ox” and ost “enclosure” (GL/58). Tolkien wrote ŭ in parenthesis after this word, perhaps indicating the proper form should be mŭst, since a long vowel before a cluster like st is very peculiar.

Neo-Sindarin: I would adapt this word as ᴺS. munnost, using the later word S. mund as its initial element.
