ᴱN. bliw n. “oil” (Category: Oil)

There was a word G. ilm “oil, fat, grease” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/50), clearly derived from the early root ᴱ√ILI¹ “shine oily” (QL/42). In Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s, the word for “oil” was ᴱN. bliw derived from primitive ᴱ✶mḷgo (PE13/139).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would update the Early Noldorin word to ᴺS. blîw “oil” since vowels in monosyllables were usually long in Sindarin. I would assume this word was based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√MILIG “oil”, derived from a primitive form m’ligu.
