Eldamo : Gnomish : tuim

G. tuim n. “steam” (Category: Smoke)

⚠️G. tuim, n. “steam” (Category: Smoke): ᴺS. !fanu “vapour, steam”

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s originally glossed “bud”, but this was revised to “steam” (GL/71). Before the change in gloss, this word was probably derived from the early root ᴱ√TUẎU which had various bud-related derivatives (QL/96), but after the change its etymology is unclear.
