ᴺS. [G.] ^níwost n. “hive” (Category: Bee)

ᴺS. [G.] ^níwost, n. “hive” [created by Paul Strack] (Category: Bee)
See G. niost for discussion.

Elements

^nîw “bee”
S. ost “fort, fortress, stronghold, citadel; fortified town; enclosure”

G. niost n. “hive” (Category: Bee)

A word appearing as G. niost “hive” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on G. nio(s) “bee” (GL/60). The second element might be G. ost “enclosure; town”.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would adapt this words as ᴺS. níwost “hive”, a combination of ᴺS. nîw “bee” and S. ost “city, town”.
