G. gach n. “milch cow” (Category: Cow)

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as {gacha “cow” >>} G. gach “a milch cow”, cognate to ᴱQ. yakse of the same meaning (GL/36), which was derived from the early root ᴱ√Ẏak “a head of cattle” (QL/105).

Neo-Sindarin: I would retain this word in Neo-Sindarin as ᴺS. gach “cow” (< *gyaksē) based on the Neo-Root ᴺ√GYAK, with the sound changes (a) gy- > g- and (b) ks > ch.
