N. tobas n. “roofing, roof” (Category: Roof)

N. tobas, n. “roofing, roof” (Category: Roof)
ᴱN. #teloth “plain; [G.] roofing, canopy, shelter”

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “roofing, roof” under the root ᴹ√TOP “cover, roof” (Ety/TOP; EtyAC/TOP). The only gloss appearing in The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road was “roofing” (LR/394), but Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne clarified that the full gloss was “roofing, roof” in their Addenda and Corrigenda to the Etymologies (VT46/19).

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. teld or telthon “roof” derived from the early root ᴱ√tel- “cover in; close; finish” (GL/70). The Official Name List from the 1910s had only Teld “roof” (PE13/104).
