G. nauglafel adj. “mean, avaricious, (lit.) dwarf-natured” (Category: Stingy, Avaricious)
A word in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s meaning “mean, avaricious”, more literally “dwarf-natured” as a combination of G. naugla “of dwarves” and G. fel “like” (GL/59). Tolkien also gave it the Greek gloss αίσχροκέρδος, or “shameful desire of gain” according to the editors.
