A word appearing as G. unt or unath “nothing” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with an adjective form G. untha “no, none” (GL/73, 74). It is related to the negative element G. û (GL/73). It may also be related to ᴱQ. munta “nothing” (PE14/48, 81) and based on the early negative root ᴱ√UMU (QL/98).

Neo-Sindarin: Since √UMU continues to appear in Tolkien’s later writings, I retained ᴺS. unt “nothing” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, but adapt the adjective form as ᴺS. ont “no, none” with a-affection of u to o. For an alternative, see ᴺS. lad “nothing, zero”.
