N. lhom adj. “weary” (Category: Tired, Weary)
An adjective appearing as N. lhom “weary” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√LUB of the same meaning (EtyAC/LUB), where the l was unvoiced to lh as was usual of Noldorin.
Neo-Sindarin: Since the unvoicing of l was not a feature of Sindarin, most Neo-Sindarin writers adapt this word as ᴺS. lom “weary”, as suggested in Hiswelókë’s Sindarin Dictionary (HSD).
Conceptual Development: Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s had ᴱN. darw with glosses “weary” or “tired”, based on the primitive form ᴱ✶dar’wa- (PE13/142, 161).
