ᴱN. bang n. “staff” (Category: Beam)
A noun appearing as {bangul >> bangol >>} G. bang “staff” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/21). The deleted forms were perhaps cognates of ᴱQ. vandl “staff” appearing in the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√VAHA having to do with travel (QL/99), but in the Gnomish Lexicon proper Tolkien gave the Qenya cognate as ᴱQ. vanga. As for the Gnomish form, it reappeared as ᴱN. bang “staff” in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s (PE13/138).
Neo-Sindarin: I’d retain ᴺS. bang “staff” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin.
