N. hûd, n. “assembly, *gathering, moot” (Category: Crowd, Multitude): G. glest “moot, gathering, concourse, assembly”; G. gwalest “concourse, moot, folkmote”; G. lest “gathering, assembly, concourse, moot”; G. lieglest “a folk moot”

A word for “assembly” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√KHOTH “gather” (Ety/KHOTH).

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. hûs “crowd, heap, pile; very great number”, cleary based on the early root ᴱ√HOSO [ΧOÞ] (GL/49).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would also use hûd for a “moot” or “gathering” to replace other early Gnomish words like G. lest.
