Eldamo : Gnomish : gîr

G. gîr n. “yesterday” (Category: Yesterday)

⚠️G. gîr, n. “yesterday” (Category: Yesterday): ᴺS. !nuir “yesterday”

A word appearing as G. gîr “yesterday” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/38), probably cognate to ᴱQ. die “yesterday” and thus based on the early root ᴱ√DYĒ “back (before of time)” (QL/105).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would update this word to ᴺS. nuir “yesterday”, inspired by sír “this day, today” but using ᴺS. nui “before”.
