N. tûg adj. “thick, fat” (Category: Thick (in Dimension))
An adjective in The Etymologies of the 1930s, cognate to ᴹQ. tiuka “thick, fat” and derived from primitive ᴹ✶tiukā under the root ᴹ√TIW “fat, thick” (Ety/TIW). In Noldorin of the 1930s, primitive iu became ū, as opposed to Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s where primitive iu became ȳ.
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would retain tûg “thick, fat” to distinguish it from ᴺS. tŷg “thigh” by assuming tûg is derived from a variant primitive *tyūkā with ancient ty > t.
Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. polc “thick, fat” (GL/64), perhaps related to ᴱQ. pulwa “fat, bulky” based on the early root ᴱ√PULU “swell” (QL/75). The Early Noldorin Grammar of the 1920s had ᴱN. dolch “stout” (PE13/124-125), and the word dolch reappeared in contemporaneous Early Noldorin word-lists with the gloss “thick, stout” (PE13/142).
