G. glóna- v. “to dawn” (Category: Dawn)
A verb for “to dawn” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on G. glô “sunrise, dawn, daybreak”, either glóna- or glôna- [Tolkien’s writing is unclear] (GL/40). It is typically used with a feminine pronoun: glonaith “it [she] dawns”, since G. Aur “Sun” is female.
