Eldamo : Early Primitive Elvish : GANA

?ᴱ√GANA root. “young”

⚠️?ᴱ√GANA root. “young”: √WIN “young, [ᴹ√] new, fresh”; √NETH “(young) woman, female person; sister; fresh, lively, merry; [ᴹ√] young”

A hypothetical early root that would explain words appearing in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s such as ᴱQ. kana and G. gân “young” (GL/37). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writings.
