G. cang adj. and n. “tangled, confused, mixed up, awry; tangle, confusion, mêllay” (Category: to Wind, Wrap)
A word appearing as G. cang in the Gnomish Lexicon, functioning as both an adjective “tangled, confused, mixed up, awry, wrong” and a noun “tangle, confusion, mêllay” (GL/25). It is likely based on the early root ᴱ√KANGA or ᴱ√KAŊA “weave, twine” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/45, 98).
Neo-Sindarin: I would retain the word ᴺS. cang for purposes of Neo-Sindarin based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√KANGA “*tangle”.
