G. âl n. “wood (material)” (Category: Wood, Timber)
A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as {ald >>} âl “wood (material)” (GL/19), a derivative of the root ᴱ√ALA² “spread” which was the basis of other “wood” words, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Aldaron). This word appeared unglossed in Gnomish Lexicon Slips as a derivative of ᴱ✶alda, but was equated to G. awl, possibly “lofty” (PE13/109).
