Appendix:Sindarin/anc

Etymology
Only attested in Tolkien’s earlier conception of the language (‘Noldorin’). Modified from still earlier gag in ‘Gnomish’. Diegetically explained as inherited from Primitive Elvish *ankā, and so cognate to 🇨🇬.

Noun

 * 1) jaw, row of teeth

Usage notes
The intended plural form for words ending in in Tolkien’s mature conception of Sindarin is unclear; the regular formation would be, but in the earlier ‘Noldorin’ it was -enc.
