ᴱN. gwai n. “sea” (Category: Sea)

⚠️ᴱN. gwai, n. “sea” (Category: Sea)
S. gaear “sea”

A word for “sea” in Early Noldorin Word-lists from the 1920s (PE13/146), probably a cognate of ᴱQ. vea “sea” from this same period. It is probably a later iteration of G. Bai “the Outer Seas” from the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, cognate of ᴱQ. Vai as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (GL/21; LT1A/Vai).
