G. cintha- v. “to light, set alight” (Category: to Light, Kindle)

⚠️G. cintha-, v. “to light, set alight” (Category: to Light, Kindle): N. nartha- “to kindle, *ignite, inflame, set fire to”

A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “to light, set alight” with past form canthi (GL/26), probably based on the early root ᴱ√KṆŘṆ [KṆÐṆ] “shine” (QL/47) since ancient short ṇ became in but long ṇ̄ became an and ð became th before a consonant.
