Eldamo : Early Primitive Elvish : MUKU²

?ᴱ√MUKU² root. “*silent”

⚠️?ᴱ√MUKU² root. “*silent”: S. dîn “silence; silent, quiet”

A hypothetical early root based on words like G. mug- “keep silent, say nothing (about)” and G. maug “silent” (GL/57-58). In later writings Tolkien used words like S. dîn for “silence” in Sindarin.
