Eldamo : Gnomish : tibli

G. tibli n. “drizzle, sleet” (Category: Rain)

⚠️G. tibli, n. “drizzle, sleet” (Category: Rain): S. ross¹ “rain; spray, ⚠️spindrift, foam”

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “drizzle, sleet” that Tolkien said was related to ᴱQ. tiq- (GL/70) but I suspect G. tibli was actually based on the early root ᴱ√TIPI which was a dialectical variant of ᴱ√TIQI with various rain-related derivatives (QL/92).
