That would be really weird.

At least I am pretty convinced that's not in Silmarillion, neither in the UT. And I doubt that the HoME would be any different, because, as we just heard, Gnomes are Noldor.

Although... now that you speak of it, I have something like vague impression that I heard somewhere something like that. But more like the thing that Túrin was called "wild Wose". But maybe I am just imagining things.

I remember reading it when Luthien was dancing and Beren had just caught his first glance of her. Tell you what I'm going to see if I can get the book back and look it up.
