G. salfinc n. “spoon” (Category: Spoon)
A noun appearing as G. salfinc in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, apparently a diminutive form of G. salf “bowl” (GL/66).
Neo-Sindarin: Since I prefer ᴺS. tolph for “bowl” to avoid conflict with N. salff [salph] “broth”, I would update this Gnomish word to ᴺS. tolpheg “spoon” using the later diminutive suffix -eg.
