G. tast² n. “total, amount” (Category: Amount, Quantity)
A word appearing as G. tast² “total, amount” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on G. tath- “count” (GL/69), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√TAÞA (QL/90).
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would update this word to ᴺS. nost “total, amount” taking the later root √NOT “count” and combining it with the suffix ✶-dā “product of an action” (with t-d > st), so originally “*a product of counting”.
