⚠️G. tug-, v. “to hit, reach mark; to light on, chance on, find; to arrive; to chance, occur; to suit, fit, be convenient, ‘do’” (Category: to Find): ᴺS. !hir- “to find, *light on, chance on”; N. tog- “to bring”

A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with numerous glosses: “1) hit, reach mark; 2) light on, chance on, find; 3) arrive; 4) chance, occur; 5) suit, fit, be convenient”, the last with the looser sense “do” (GL/71). It is clearly based on the early root ᴱ√TUKU from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon with the derived verb ᴱQ. tuku- “go in search of, look for, fetch” (QL/95).
