Eldamo : Gnomish : gôbi

G. gôbi n. “large hound” (Category: Dog)

⚠️G. gôbi, n. “large hound” (Category: Dog): S. huan “great dog, hound”

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s for a “large hound”, appearing as gôbi under G. gab- “bark” (GL/36) but as {gôbi >>} gobi elsewhere in the lexicon (GL/40). It was probably derived from the early root ᴱ√YAPA “snarl” (QL/105), since initial y became g in Gnomish. It had a rejected variant G. hûbi “hound” = hû + gôbi (GL/49).
