N. hniof n. “noose, snare” (Category: Rope, Cord)

⚠️N. hniof, n. “noose, snare” (Category: Rope, Cord)
ᴺS. ^nŷw “noose, snare”

A word appearing as N. { >>} hniof/hnuif “noose, snare” in The Etymologies of the 1930s, derived from ON. sniuma/snȳma under the root ᴹ√SNEW “entangle” (Ety/SNEW; EtyAC/SNEW). Even in the 1930s its phonetic developments were quite peculiar: see the entry on how [eu] became [iu] in (Old) Sindarin for further details.

Neo-Sindarin: If adapted to Sindarin phonology, this word would become ᴺS. nŷw “noose, snare”, as suggested in Hiswelókë’s Sindarin Dictionary (HSD).
