⚠️G. †gath² (gadh-), n. “gloom, blight” (Category: Darkness): S. fuin “night, gloom, darkness, [N.] dead of night”

An (archaic) word for “gloom, blight” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with stem-form gadh-, apparently derived from a variant of ᴱ✶ı̯ādh which was the ancient final element of G. Garioth (GL/37). As such it clearly based on the early root ᴱ√YAÐA with Gnomish form gadh- (QL/105).
