Eldamo : Gnomish : gada-

G. gada- v. “to join, connect, unite” (Category: to Join, Unite)

⚠️G. gada-, v. “to join, connect, unite” (Category: to Join, Unite): ᴺS. !ianna- “to join, connect”; S. #ertha- “to unite”

A verb appearing as gada- “join, connect, unite” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based the early root ᴱ√yat- [ẎATA] (GL/36), with the Gnomish sound change of initial y becoming g.

Neo-Sindarin: The later form of this root is ᴹ√YAT or √YAN², so I would update this verb to ᴺS. ianna- “to join, connect” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, inspired by the neologism ᴺS. goianna- “join with, add to”. For “unite” I would instead use S ertha-.
