brant

adjective. cooked, done; overdone

An adjective appearing as G. brant “cooked, done” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, with the more specific connotation of “overdone”, perhaps due to the influence of the verb G. brantha- “scorch” (GL/24).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I retain the Neo-Root ᴺ√BRATH “cook” along with its related derivatives, so I would retain ᴺS. brant as well. For “cooked” without the connotation of “overdone”, I would use the passive participle brannen of the verb ᴺS. brath- “to cook”.
