S. cîw adj. “fresh, new, renewed” (Category: New)

S. cîw, adj. “fresh, new, ⚠️renewed” (Category: New): G. guin¹ “recent, fresh”

A word appearing in notes from the late 1960s variously glossed “fresh, new, renewed” and derived from the root √KEW (VT48/7-8).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would only use cîw for “fresh, new” and would instead use cŷr for “renewed”.
