⚠️G. ther-, v. “to tie” (Category: to Bind): N. nod-² “to tie”; ᴺS. !ther- “to sew”

A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “to tie” (GL/72), probably based on the early root ᴱ√SERE “twine, tie, bind” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon, whose true form was probably *ᴱ√ÞERE (QL/83). In Tolkien’s later writings, √THER was “sew”; see that entry for details.
