N. lhunt n. “boat” (Category: Boat)
The noun N. lhunt “boat” appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√LUT “float, swim” (Ety/LUT).
Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. lunta “a ship” (GL/55), clearly related to ᴱQ. lunte “ship, boat” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√LUTU as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Alqaluntë).
Neo-Sindarin: Most Neo-Sindarin writers adapt this word as ᴺS. lunt “boat” as suggested in Hiswelókë’s Sindarin Dictionary (HSD), since the unvoicing of initial l did not occur in Sindarin.
