ᴺS. !ysgia- v. “to smoke (intr.)” (Category: Smoke)

ᴺS. !ysgia-, v. “to smoke (intr.)” [created by Paul Strack] (Category: Smoke): G. foltha- “to emit smoke, smoulder, reek”; G. fug- “to smoulder”

A neologism coined by Paul Strack as an intransitive verb for “to smoke”, inspired by Shihali’s neologism ᴺQ. ustya- < *us(u)kya-. In Sindarin the ancient sk became sg, while the u became y before i. Older versions of this Lexicon vacillated between esgia- and ysgia- based on differing theories on how vowel affection works in Sindarin.
