Eldamo : Gnomish : drab

G. drab n. “labour, toil, irksome work” (Category: Work, Labor)

A noun appearing as G. drab “labour, toil (irksome work)” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/30).

Neo-Sindarin: I retain ᴺS. drab for (unpleasant) work for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, since it does not conflict with any later words or roots. [N.] tass “labour, task” can be used for work without the unpleasant connotation.
