G. laf n. “loose-end, end of rope, hem of robe” (Category: End)

A noun appearing as G. laf “loose-end, end of rope, hem of robe, etc.” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with a Qenya cognate ᴱQ. lappa (GL/52). It is likely based on the early root ᴱ√LAPA “enfold” (QL/51).

Neo-Sindarin: Since √LAP “fold, bend” survives in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain this word but adapted as ᴺS. laph “loose-end, end of rope, hem of robe” to better fit Sindarin orthography.
