N. hithw n. “fog” (Category: Mist, Fog, Haze)
A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s given as N. {heðw >>} hithw “fog” derived from primitive ᴹ✶khithme under the root ᴹ√KHITH “mist, fog” (Ety/KHIS; EtyAC/KHIS).
Conceptual Development: G. huith “fog” from the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s is a likely precursor (GL/49), perhaps derived from a (hypothetical) early root *ᴱ√HUYU.
Neo-Sindarin: If adapted to Neo-Sindarin, this word would become ᴺS. hithu, as suggested in Hiswelókë’s Sindarin Dictionary (HSD).
