Eldamo : Gnomish : nud-

G. nud- v. “to incline head, bend face down” (Category: to Bend)

⚠️G. nud-, v. “to incline head, bend face down” (Category: to Bend): ᴺS. ^nunna- “to incline head, bend face down, *nod; to assent, *agree”

A verb appearing as G. nud- “incline head, bend face down” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/61), probably based on the early root ᴱ√NUHU “bow, bend down; stoop, sink” (QL/68). There is a similar and probably-related verb G. nunta- “agree” appearing two lines below it.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would combine and adapt these verbs as ᴺS. nunna- “to incline head, bend face down, *nod; to assent, *agree” based on the later root √NU “sink, go down”, perhaps from primitive *nun-tā.
