G. ganthan adj. “waxen, grown big, grown up, adult, [originally?] large” (Category: to Grow)

The word G. {gantha >>} ganthan “(large), waxen, grown big, grown up, adult” appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on G. gant “larger” (GL/37). I believe the parenthetical “(large)” indicates its ancient meaning and “waxen, grown big, grown up, adult” is its modern meaning.

Neo-Sindarin: Since I retain ᴺS. gant for purposes of Neo-Sindarin as a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√GYANTA, I would retain and adapt its enlargement as ᴺS. gannan “waxen, grown big, grown up, adult”, originally just “†large”.
