G. argulthion adj. “equal, equivalent” (Category: Equal, Alike)
A word appearing in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s given as G. argulthion “equal, equivalent” combining G. ar- “beside” and G. gultha- “bear up” (GL/20, 38), so meaning something like “*beside-bear-able”.
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would update the word to ᴺS. asgolui “equivalent, (lit.) beside-bear-able” based on later √AS “beside” and √KOL “bear”.
