S. pennod adj. “without count, *impossible to count” (Category: Amount, Quantity)
A compound appearing in Definitive Linguistic Notes (DLN) from 1959 glossed “without count” as a combination of pen “without” and nod- “count”. In this note Tolkien said pen- when used in this way was “referring principally to (complete) impossibility”, so pennod means “*impossible to count”.
