Eldamo : Gnomish : gui

G. gui adv. “just, just now, only just, already” (Category: Now)

⚠️G. gui, adv. “just, just now, only just, already” (Category: Now): ᴺS. ^gwí “just, just now, only just, already”

A word appearing in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s as G. gui “just, just now, only just, already” based on the early root ᴱ√guı̯u̯ having to do with youth (GL/42).

Neo-Sindarin: I originally proposed that gui might be salvaged for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, rederived from the root √WIN “young” with the loss of final n. Röandil pointed out its Sindarin phonetic developments would produce ᴺS. gwí “just, just now, only just, already”, as posted on 2022-04-16 in the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS).
