Eldamo : Gnomish : ivrin

G. ivrin adj. “fertile” (Category: to Conceive)

⚠️G. ivrin, adj. “fertile” (Category: to Conceive): ᴺS. ^iavren “fertile”

An adjective appearing as G. ivrin “fertile” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s related to G. gav- “produce, bear fruit” (GL/52), derived from the early root ᴱ√ẎAVA (QL/105).

Neo-Sindarin: I would update this word to ᴺS. iavren “fertile” based on the later form of the root ᴹ√YAB (Ety/YAB). Based on its etymology, I would apply this word to both fertile fields as well as fertile people.
