G. telt n. “lid” (Category: to Cover)
A noun for “lid” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on the early root ᴱ√tel- “cover in; close; finish” (GL/70).
Neo-Sindarin: The roots √TEL “close, complete” and √TELU “roof in” survive in Tolkien’s later writings, so I’d retain ᴺS. telt “lid” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin.
