G. fuis n. “hoard” (Category: Treasure)
There were various words for “hoard” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, all based on the early root ᴱ√foχo and related to ᴱQ. foa “hoard, treasure” (GL/36; QL/38). Of these, only G. fuis and G. fûn were retained, the latter with a variant fufuin. Tolkien had fû “hoard”, but this was revised to fuis. Tolkien also had {fûl >> fund >>} fûn, and {fûlin or fûlim >>} fûn. On another page he had G. fô or fôtha “a hoard”, but these were revised to G. fô “snow” and G. fôtha “it snows” respectively (GL/35). Before their change in meaning, these last two were connected to (rejected) G. fâ- “have, hold, possess” (GL/33).
