lith-

verb. to go, depart, be over, finish, end, die

A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “go, depart, be over, finish, end, die” (GL/54). The early root ᴱ√lith- also seems to have been related to time (see G. laith “time, the course of time”), so the meaning of this verb may have originally been exclusively temporal, only later spatial.
