hapas(se)

adverb. together in the same place (as far as the pair or group is concerned, and in distinction to others outside it)

A correlative combination in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/100, 111), a combination of ᴹQ. hap- “about the same” and the locative suffix ᴹQ. -sse.

hap-

prefix. the same, together, alike, closely associated, [of time] approach closely

A prefix meaning “the same, together, alike, closely associated” and of time “approach closely”, appearing in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/100). It was distinct from ᴹQ. on- which indicated the exact same or identical thing. For example, a group of people currently standing in (about) the same place would be ᴹQ. hapas(se), but two people standing in precisely the same spot at two different points in time would be ᴹQ. onas(se) [which for purposes of Neo-Quenya I would revise to ᴺQ. imas(se)].
