bannen

gone

#bannen (pl. bennin). Isolated from govannen ”met”, based on the assumption that this past participle includes a form of the verb #bad- ”go”.

bannen

adjective. gone

A neologism for “gone” derived from ᴹ√BAT proposed by David Salo as part of his theory for the derivation of govannen “met” (GS/241, 260). While I think this theory is correct for the 1940s, I think the relevant forms were abandoned by the late 1950s, and I would recommend attested gwanwen instead for “departed, ✱gone”.

Early Quenya

avanwa

adjective. going, passing, nearly gone

An adjective appearing as ᴱQ. avanwa “going, passing, nearly gone” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√AVA “go away, depart, leave” (QL/33). It seems to have a present-tense sense, that is “✱currently going/passing”, as opposed to contemporaneous ᴱQ. vanwa with a past-tense sense: “gone, past, over, lost” (QL/99).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I’d simply use the active participle of the later verb auta- “go away, pass away, departing”, as in ᴺQ. autaila “going away, passing away”.
