Eldamo : Gnomish : thribin

G. thribin adj. “lean” (Category: Thin (in Dimension))

⚠️G. thribin, adj. “lean” (Category: Thin (in Dimension)): ᴺS. ^thriben “lean”

The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. thribin “lean” (GL/73) likely based on the early root ᴱ√SIRIPI having to do with various stem/stalk words (QL/84).

Neo-Sindarin: I retain and adapt this early root as ᴺ√THIRIP “stalk”, so I would retain and adapt the Gnomish word as ᴺS. thriben “lean”, using -en as a more typical Sindarin adjective suffix.
