N. hammad n. “clothing” (Category: Clothes, Clothing)

N. hammad, n. “clothing, *clothes” (Category: Clothes, Clothing)
ᴱN. gwablith “clothes”

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s for “clothing” based on (and possibly the gerund of) the verb N. hamma- “to clothe” (Ety/KHAB).

Conceptual Development: Earlier clothing words in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s include G. baith¹ “a garment” and {baidri- “clothes” >>} baithri “clothes, clothing” (GL/21), both derived from the early root ᴱ√VAẎA “enfold, wind about” as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Vai; QL/100). The form ᴱN. {maith >>} baith “clothes, garments, dress” reappeared in Early Noldorin word lists of the 1920s (PE13/138).

See N. hamp “garment” for other similar words.
