ᴺS. !loph n. “nugget, (small) chunk, clump, tidbit” (Category: Metal)
A neologism coined by Röandil on 2023-04-07 in the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS) derived from √LUB “lump” + diminutive ✶-si: lub-si > ancient ✶lupse, hence originally “little lump”. This Neo-Sindarin word assumes that ancient ps became ph, similar to how ancient ks became ch. It might instead by *laus.
