N. rhinc n. “twitch, jerk, trick, sudden move” (Category: to Draw, Pull)
A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “twitch, jerk, trick, sudden move”, apparently derived from ᴹ✶rinki under the root ᴹ√RIK(H) “jerk, sudden move, flirt” (Ety/RIK(H)).
Neo-Sindarin: Since initial r unvoiced to rh in Noldorin of the 1930s but not in Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s, most Neo-Sindarin writers adapt this word as ᴺS. rinc “twitch, jerk, sudden move”, as suggested in Hiswelókë’s Sindarin Dictionary (HSD).
Conceptual Development: Earlier nouns for “jerk” included G. cilt from Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/26), clearly a cognate of ᴱQ. kilt “tuck” under the early root ᴱ√KḶTḶ “tilt; fling” (QL/47).
